Output in context · Amazulu finished 4th of 16 · an upper-table side
3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 16) 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. 3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 27.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
