Clean sheets

5.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (9th of 12) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 18.8, Eames carries the 9th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the A-League of 20 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
