Clean sheets

3.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) 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. 3.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91.1/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 46.3 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
