Output in context · Johor Darul Takzim FC finished 1st of 13 · a title-challenging side
1.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 11 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 82.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.82 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 13.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
