Clean sheets

5.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 5.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.1/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 34.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 51.4 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years). Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
