Clean sheets

1.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th of 17) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 60.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.76 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 41.3 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
