Clean sheets

3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 21 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 99.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 29.9, Isherwood carries the 23rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Allsvenskan of 45. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
