Clean sheets

3.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 24) 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.

Game time. Only 25.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 48.6 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.11 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 (~58), then tapers with age. At 27, Woolfenden sits on 22.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Woolfenden's projected Rating — 48.6 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.
