Clean sheets

5.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 4 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (13th of 15) 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: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Defensive volume. 5.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 21.3% 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 33.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.04 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.
