Clean sheets

1.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 20 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 97.4/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 27.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 62.6 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
