Clean sheets

1.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 15 appearances.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.52 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 22.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
