Clean sheets

6.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 3 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (23rd 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. 6.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 8.5% 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 31.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~7), then tapers with age. At 26, Taylor sits on 7, at or near its peak. The blue line is Taylor's projected Rating — 31.5 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.
