Output in context · Junior finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
1.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.37 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 15.2% 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 light defensive volume (1.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
