Clean sheets

4.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (23rd of 24) 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 4.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Outlook

Rated 39.9 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around age 25 (~9), then tapers with age. At 25, Spence sits on 8.9, at or near its peak. The blue line is Spence's projected Rating — 39.9 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.
