Output in context · Arsenal finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
3.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 17 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) 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 4 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 93.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 100/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 84.2, Rice carries the 8th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League (top 23%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.46 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.
