Clean sheets

5.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 12) 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 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Defensive volume. 5.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 32.9% 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 45.3 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

Market valueRating

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 ages 23–27 (~21), then tapers with age. At 24, Leonard sits on 10.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is Leonard's projected Rating — 45.3 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.
