Clean sheets

1.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 24) 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 3 goals and 12 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.68 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Creativity. 0.55 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

Game time. Only 47.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Defensive numbers. Modest 1.73 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 50.2 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.73 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.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~12), then tapers with age. At 24, Tanner sits on 12.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Tanner's projected Rating — 50.2 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
