Clean sheets

4.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 12) 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 44.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 47.4, Barron carries the 10th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premiership (top 25%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
