Clean sheets

1.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th 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. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 62.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.14 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 30.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.14 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.
