Clean sheets

3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) 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 1 goal and 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 98.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.5/100).

Watch points

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

Outlook

Rated 54.1 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
