Clean sheets

2.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
