Clean sheets

4.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 2 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 18) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.74 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.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 41.7 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
