7 clean sheets in 34 appearances (21% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (5th of 18) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 100% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.9/100).

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 33 overall — below regular-starter level. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
