Output in context · St. Louis City finished 13th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
8.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 7 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (13th of 15) 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. 8.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 7.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 33.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (8.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
