Clean sheets

3.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 24) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 69.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 23.6, Cargill carries the 19th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League One of 19, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Mansfield Town finished 17th of 24) — 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 solid defensive volume (3.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
