Clean sheets

3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (8th of 24) 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 55.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 48.6, Abrefa carries the 6th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League One (top 32%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
