Clean sheets

4.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (4th of 6) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 35.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 20.2, Piven carries the 24th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligat Ha'al of 28, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Hapoel Tel Aviv finished 4th of 6) — 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). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
