Clean sheets

1.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 14) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 33.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 25.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
