Output in context · El Paso Locomotive finished 4th of 12 · an upper-table side
2.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 12) 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 40% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 20.6, Ackwei carries the 36th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the USL Championship of 59 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
