Output in context · Sheffield Wednesday finished 24th of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
3.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (24th 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 62.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 63.6, Otegbayo carries the 21st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship (top 26%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Sheffield Wednesday finished 24th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
