Output in context · Dundee finished 4th of 12 · an upper-table side
4.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 12) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 82.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 50.1, Astley carries the 4th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premiership of 19 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
