Clean sheets

1.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) 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 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 47.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.93 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 42.6, Eze carries the 5th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the 3. Liga (top 6%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
