Output in context · Livingston finished 12th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 90.6% 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 45.2, Finlayson carries the 11th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premiership (top 27%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Livingston finished 12th of 12) — 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 moderate defensive volume (3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
