Clean sheets

3.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 31 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 60% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 42, Forino-Joseph carries the 25th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One (top 29%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
