Clean sheets

1.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 18) 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 6 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 71.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.41 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.41 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 60.4 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
