Clean sheets

4.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.9% 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 14.4, Kakora carries the 28th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier Soccer League of 44 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
