Output in context · Richards Bay finished 11th of 16 · a lower-table side
1.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 16) 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 55.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.81 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 16.6, Zuke carries the 22nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier Soccer League (top 37%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Richards Bay finished 11th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
