Clean sheets

1.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 18) 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 4 goals and 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 71.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.45 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.77 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 31.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.77 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).
