Output in context · Blackburn finished 20th of 24 · a lower-table side
3.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (20th 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 42.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 57.2, Baradji carries the 6th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship (top 40%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Blackburn finished 20th 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 solid defensive volume (3.72 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.
