Clean sheets

1.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 8 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 16) 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 53% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.51 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 26.2, Diveev carries the 3rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 37 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
