Clean sheets

4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 4 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 60.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Defensive volume. 4 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 39.5, Alonso carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 3. Liga (top 24%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4 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.
