Clean sheets

3.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 33.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 66.6, Solis carries the 13th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 53 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
