Output in context · Port Vale finished 20th of 24 · a lower-table side
3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 7 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 18.2% 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 28.7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
