A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (55.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.22 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fusire.

Judged on this season alone, Fusire graded 27 — a strong campaign that ranks top 28% of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Championship, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 4.22 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 27).

On long-term talent our Rating reads 62, top 20% of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Championship. At 21 Fusire is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 25.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Fusire missed 4 games through injury (international duty, injury) out of roughly 46 this season. The 35 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

4.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (24th of 24) 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

  • Defensive volume. 4.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 55.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 62.3, Fusire carries the 8th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship (top 20%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Sheffield Wednesday finished 24th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
