Output in context · Marumo Gallants finished 14th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
3.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 5 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th of 16) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 14.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 4.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
