Clean sheets

2.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 6 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 71.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 77 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
