Clean sheets

4.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 47.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 28.5, Offord carries the 9th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League Two of 55 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.27 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.
