Output in context · Stoke City finished 17th of 24 · a lower-table side
0.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 45 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 7 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 70.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 0.95 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
With a Rating of 70.6, Manhoef carries the 8th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship (top 8%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Stoke City finished 17th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
