Clean sheets

1.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 3 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.4/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 1.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 63.3 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
