Clean sheets

3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 14 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 79.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92/100).

Watch points

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

Outlook

Rated 56.3 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
