Clean sheets

1.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 16) 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 5 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.42 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 55.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.97 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 24.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
