Clean sheets

2.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) 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.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 93.5/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 68.1 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
