Clean sheets

4.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 17 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th of 16) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 4.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Outlook

Rated 28.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around age 25 (~4), then tapers with age. At 25, Kalley sits on 3.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is Kalley's projected Rating — 28.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
