Clean sheets

3.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 10) 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 9 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 75.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.37 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 42.1 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
