Clean sheets

5.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 14 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 16) 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.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 5.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 45% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 26.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.63 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.

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 (~12), then tapers with age. At 26, Roux sits on 3.5, at or near its peak. The blue line is Roux's projected Rating — 26.9 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.
