Clean sheets

2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 26 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 13) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 5.7% 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 28.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
