Clean sheets

3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 62.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 32.9, Vakhania carries the 4th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premier League of 22 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
