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 81.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 68.1, Davis carries the 10th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Championship (top 13%). 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.
