Clean sheets

2.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 2 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 24) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 4.9% 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 39.7 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
