Clean sheets

0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 16) 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 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 0.7% 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 32.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
