Clean sheets

2.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 11 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (6th of 6) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 19.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 9.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
