Clean sheets

3.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around age 20 (~8), then tapers with age. At 20, Walters sits on 8.1, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Walters's projected Rating — 42.8 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
