Clean sheets

7.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 5 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th 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. 7.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 16.7% 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 20.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (7.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
