Clean sheets

3.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 41 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 18) 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

  • Availability. On the pitch for 96.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 38.5 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
