Output in context · Watford finished 20th of 24 · a lower-table side
2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 5 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (20th 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 16.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 54.3 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
