Clean sheets

2.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 8 appearances.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 70.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 48.7, Rawlins carries the 6th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premiership of 27 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
