Clean sheets

5.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 24) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 65.6, Magassa carries the 1st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship (top 5%). Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.5 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.
