Clean sheets

3.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 19.5, Pina carries the 22nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League of 27. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
