Clean sheets

1.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 47.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.91 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 41.9, Kilman carries the 31st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 54 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
