Clean sheets

5.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 5.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 97.4/100).

Outlook

Rated 45.9 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~55), then tapers with age. At 29, Cook sits on 30.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Cook's projected Rating — 45.9 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.
