Clean sheets

3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 32 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 61.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49.4, Forrester carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premiership (top 6%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
