Clean sheets

0.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 7 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 24) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.33 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 13.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 54.2 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
