Clean sheets

2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 7 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (8th of 24) 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.

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 ages 23–27 (~27), then tapers with age. At 24, Wood-Gordon sits on 27.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Wood-Gordon's projected Rating — 59.1 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.
