Clean sheets

4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 24) 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 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 44.8, Pye carries the 7th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One of 64 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
