Clean sheets

5.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 22 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 13.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 24.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
