Clean sheets

2.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 16 clean sheets across 49 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 98.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 33.2, Bedeau carries the 9th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League Two (top 12%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.81 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.
