On the season, Phillips graded 13 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal and 2 assists in 8 appearances (0.614 involvements per 90).

1 goal in 8 appearances (0.13 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 3 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.61 goal contributions per 90 (0.21 goals, 0.41 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Defensive volume. 6.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 21.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 32.4 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.61 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
