Clean sheets

2.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 13 clean sheets across 32 appearances.

At 27, Kairinen sits on 0, at or near its peak. The blue line is Kairinen's projected Rating — 1.6 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
