Clean sheets

3.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 15) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

  • Defensive volume. 3.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
