Clean sheets

3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 14) 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 40.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 40.3, Kontouris carries the 2nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Super League 1 (top 20%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
