Clean sheets

3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 63.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 94.5/100).

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 43 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
