Output in context · Liège finished 4th of 17 · an upper-table side
4.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 17) 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 60.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.72 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 36.1, Bustin carries the 29th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Challenger Pro League of 42. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
