Clean sheets

3.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 40 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 51.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 48.5, Towler carries the 7th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League One (top 9%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
