Output in context · Cardiff finished 2nd of 24 · a title-challenging side
2.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 64% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 48.6, Fish carries the 6th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One (top 7%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
