Clean sheets

3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 18) 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

  • Defensive volume. 3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 50.8, Julaydan carries the 6th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Pro League of 29 — though on just 22 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
