Clean sheets

1.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 14) 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.35 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 26.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 19.7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
