Output in context · Burnley finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
3.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 69% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.5/100).
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
Rated 83.9 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
