Clean sheets

3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd 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.

Outlook

Rated 30.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 age 27 (~7), then tapers with age. At 27, Clark sits on 6.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Clark's projected Rating — 30.5 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.
