Clean sheets

1.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 22) 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 4 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 64% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.86 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 59.2, Duk carries the 29th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Segunda División (top 32%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Leganes finished 16th of 22) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
