Clean sheets

3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 3.56 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 27, Balmer carries the 16th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League Two of 38. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
