Output in context · Livingston finished 12th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
6.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 64.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 6.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 19.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
