Clean sheets

2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 7 goals and 8 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 70.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.58 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.31 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 2 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 30.7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
