Clean sheets

3.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 18) 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 5 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 61.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 3.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 60.1, Edoa carries the 3rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Pro League (top 5%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
