Clean sheets

5.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Defensive volume. 5.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Outlook

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 (~3), then tapers with age. At 26, Ashley sits on 2.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Ashley's projected Rating — 26.3 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.
