Clean sheets

1.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd of 22) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 46.4 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
