Clean sheets

2.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 16) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.56 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17.9% 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 16.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
