Output in context · Manchester City finished 2nd of 20 · a title-challenging side
1.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) 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 7 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 62% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.51 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 99.5/100).
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.95 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
Rated 83.4 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
