Clean sheets

3.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (9th of 10) 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 32.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
