Output in context · Manchester City finished 2nd of 20 · a title-challenging side
2.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 77% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 99.5/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 95.5, Gvardiol carries the 4th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premier League (top 7%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
