Output in context · FC Midtjylland finished 4th of 12 · an upper-table side
3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 22 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 59% 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 43.6, Diao carries the 3rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Superliga (top 28%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
