Output in context · ST Mirren finished 10th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
2.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th of 12) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Outlook
With a Rating of 46, Devaney carries the 14th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premiership (top 35%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (ST Mirren finished 10th of 12) — 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 (2.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
