Clean sheets

1.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

Game time. Only 44.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Defensive numbers. Modest 1.86 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 33.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.86 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.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around age 27 (~7), then tapers with age. At 27, Lawrence-Gabriel sits on 7.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Lawrence-Gabriel's projected Rating — 33.3 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.
