2.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 38.9% 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 32.9, Slater carries the 5th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League Two of 40 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
