Clean sheets

1.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) 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 12 goals and 8 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 63.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.92 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Creativity. 0.37 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

Defensive numbers. Modest 1.11 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 51 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~53), then tapers with age. At 28, Pote sits on 19.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Pote's projected Rating — 51 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.
