Clean sheets

4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (7th 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 71.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 48.8, Lonwijk carries the 6th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League One (top 8%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
