Clean sheets

3.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 81.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 60.8 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
