Output in context · Middlesbrough finished 5th of 24 · an upper-table side
2.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 44 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 0 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 92.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 58, Brittain carries the 31st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship of 65. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
