Clean sheets

4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 8 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 70.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 50.7, Nsio carries the 1st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premiership of 10 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
