Clean sheets

2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th 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 4 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.43 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 28.8% 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 16.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
