Output in context · Jong Utrecht finished 20th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
4.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 11 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) 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
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Creativity. 0.32 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
- Defensive volume. 4.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 16.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 46.5 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
