Clean sheets

3.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 24) 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.34 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
  • Defensive volume. 3.86 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.

Outlook

Rated 63.3 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
