Clean sheets

4.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 9 appearances.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 75.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4.84 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 48, Carr carries the 3rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premiership of 10 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
