Output in context · Motherwell finished 4th of 12 · an upper-table side
2.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 12) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 32.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 43.4, Priestman carries the 18th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premiership of 40. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
