Clean sheets

1.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 80.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.28 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 73.3 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
