Clean sheets

2.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 4 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) 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.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91.1/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 3.8% 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 43.2 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
