Interceptions

Clean sheets

2.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 12) 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 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 61.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — 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 52.3, Meghoma carries the 1st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premiership (top 3%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~12), then tapers with age. At 20, Meghoma sits on 9.9, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Meghoma's projected Rating — 52.3 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.
