Clean sheets

1.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th of 16) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 53.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.68 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 16.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
