Clean sheets

4.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 41 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 24) 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 3 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 83.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Defensive volume. 4.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 20.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.12 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).

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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 30, Clark sits on 1.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Clark's projected Rating — 20.9 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.
