Output in context · FC Dallas finished 3rd of 15 · an upper-table side
4.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 15) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 69.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
