Clean sheets

2.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.8% 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 35.3, Akere carries the 22nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Ekstraklasa of 83 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
