Clean sheets

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.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 1.7, Zikhali carries the 7th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier Soccer League of 49 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 0 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
