Clean sheets

3.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 16) 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.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 73.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 25.2, Victor carries the 24th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 40 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
