Clean sheets

5.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 5 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (24th of 24) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 3.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 4.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
