Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 47.3% 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 37.8, Gevigney carries the 8th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One (top 34%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.45 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.
