Clean sheets

5.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 26.3, Thomson carries the 10th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League Two of 23 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.77 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.
