Clean sheets

3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 40 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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 2 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 82.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 35.9, Braybrooke carries the 1st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League Two (top 2%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
