Clean sheets

1.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 13 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 76.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

Defensive numbers. Modest 1.9 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 65.4 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.9 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.

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 ages 23–27 (~79), then tapers with age. At 26, Davis sits on 30.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is Davis's projected Rating — 65.4 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.
