Output in context · Bradford finished 3rd of 24 · an upper-table side
6.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 2 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 24) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 6.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 5.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 41 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
