Output in context · Northampton finished 24th of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
4.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (24th 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 16.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 38.6, Wormleighton carries the 42nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League One of 63 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
