Clean sheets

4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 45.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 40.1 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
