2 clean sheets in 28 appearances (7% of games).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 82.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 40, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 11.8 overall — below regular-starter level. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
