Finley Munroe is a 21-year-old full-back at Blackpool, rated 45.1 overall by Field Insider's model. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.79 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Munroe.

On the season, Munroe graded 12 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 5.794 defensive actions per 90.

Clean sheets

5.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 24) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.39 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 5.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22.5% 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 45.1 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
