Output in context · Middlesbrough finished 5th of 24 · an upper-table side
3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 24) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 19.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 58.6, Gilbert carries the 27th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship of 65 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
