An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (3.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.74 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Justin.

Clean sheets

1.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 2 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (23rd 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 3.7% 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 34.3, Justin carries the 46th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 64 — though on just 2 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
