Clean sheets

3.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 45 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 3 goals and 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 82.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 3.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 47.1, Neufville carries the 10th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League One (top 16%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
