6 clean sheets in 37 appearances (16% of games).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 97.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.4/100).

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 59 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
