Interceptions

Clean sheets

3.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th 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 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Defensive volume. 3.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 43% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 53.3 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.9 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

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 age 26 (~25), then tapers with age. At 26, Williams sits on 24.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is Williams's projected Rating — 53.3 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.
