Clean sheets

3.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 12) 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 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 92.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.36 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 3.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 23.3, Alagich carries the 1st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the A-League (top 5%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
