Clean sheets

3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th of 12) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 77.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 43.1, Fadinger carries the 7th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premiership of 10 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.53 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.
