7 clean sheets in 18 appearances (39% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (3rd of 16) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 59.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 17.9, Leaner carries the 4th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Premier Soccer League (top 18%). A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
