Clean sheets

2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) 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 10 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 81.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.42 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.5/100).

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 2 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 59.7 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
