Clean sheets

4.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 8 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (24th 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. 4.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 15.5% 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 26.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
