Clean sheets

4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 6) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 32.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 20.9, Baltaxa carries the 22nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligat Ha'al of 27. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
