Clean sheets

1.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) 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 7 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 74.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.47 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.85 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 32.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
