Clean sheets

3.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 20) 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. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 97.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.6/100).

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 79.5, Guéhi carries the 14th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League (top 22%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Crystal Palace finished 15th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
