Output in context · Marumo Gallants finished 14th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th of 16) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 20.1% 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 16.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
