Clean sheets

3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (9th of 12) 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. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 90.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Defensive volume. 3.59 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

Rated 47.7 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~11), then tapers with age. At 24, Astley sits on 10.7, at or near its peak. The blue line is Astley's projected Rating — 47.7 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.
