Clean sheets

1.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 18) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 38.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.99 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 55.6 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
