Clean sheets

0.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) 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 7 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.73 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 0.73 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 68.9 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
