Clean sheets

5.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 15) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

At 35, Aliendro sits on 2.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Aliendro's projected Rating — 17.1 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.
