Clean sheets

4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 6) 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 4 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.4 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 55.9% 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 29.1, Cohen carries the 17th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Ligat Ha'al of 27. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
