Clean sheets

3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 42 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 84.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 46.1, Campbell carries the 9th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League One (top 14%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Northampton finished 24th of 24) — 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 solid defensive volume (3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
