Output in context · Northampton finished 22nd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
5.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 8 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 5.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 31.7% 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 28.7, Wormleighton carries the 3rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League Two of 23 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
