Clean sheets

1.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (7th of 24) 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.

Watch points

Game time. Only 10.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 49.2 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around age 26 (~23), then tapers with age. At 26, Barnett sits on 22.7, at or near its peak. The blue line is Barnett's projected Rating — 49.2 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.
