Clean sheets

6.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 5 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (6th of 6) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 6.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 1.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 40.8, Teague carries the 10th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the A-League of 18 — though on just 5 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
