Output in context · Ipswich finished 2nd of 24 · a title-challenging side
2.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 17 clean sheets across 46 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 100% 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 63.4, O'Shea carries the 22nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship (top 27%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.41 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.
