Clean sheets

3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 5 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (23rd of 24) 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.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Outlook

Rated 26.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~3), then tapers with age. At 21, Russell sits on 2.6, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Russell's projected Rating — 26.6 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
