Clean sheets

3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 24) 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 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

Game time. Only 49.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 63.5 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~76), then tapers with age. At 25, Greaves sits on 29.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Greaves's projected Rating — 63.5 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
