Clean sheets

3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 34.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 66, Vale carries the 7th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 53 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
