Clean sheets

3.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 14 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 3 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 71.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 3.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 100/100).

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 92.8, Timber carries the 1st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premier League (top 4%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
