Clean sheets

5.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 24) 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

  • Defensive volume. 5.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 33.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 61.1, Leonard carries the 16th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 53 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
