Clean sheets

3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (5th of 6) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 10.8% 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 24 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
