Output in context · Milton Keynes Dons finished 20th of 24 · a lower-table side
6.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 5 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (20th of 24) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 6.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 7.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 28.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.04 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.
