Clean sheets

11.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 5 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th 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.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 11.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Outlook

Rated 39.2 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (11.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~9), then tapers with age. At 20, Samuels-Smith sits on 7.4, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Samuels-Smith's projected Rating — 39.2 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
