Clean sheets

2.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 15 clean sheets across 43 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 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~35), then tapers with age. At 30, Furlong sits on 17.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Furlong's projected Rating — 45.9 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
