Clean sheets

3.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) 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. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Defensive volume. 3.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 52.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 60.7 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.82 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around age 27 (~40), then tapers with age. At 27, Morlanes sits on 40.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Morlanes's projected Rating — 60.7 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.
