Clean sheets

4.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Defensive volume. 4.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 43.4 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
