Clean sheets

1.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (20th of 24) 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.

Outlook

With a Rating of 54.1, Henriksson carries the 12th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 34 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
