Output in context · Plymouth finished 8th of 24 · an upper-table side
3.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (8th of 24) 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 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 64.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 15.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
