Clean sheets

1.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (11th of 13) 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 34.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 27.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
