Output in context · Machida Zelvia finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
3.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 5 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 10.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 31.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
