Clean sheets

3.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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. 3.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~9), then tapers with age. At 25, Ross sits on 8.9, at or near its peak. The blue line is Ross's projected Rating — 39.9 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
