Clean sheets

1.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (21st 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 75% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.95 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 53.1, Molumby carries the 36th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 73, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (West Brom finished 21st of 24) — 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 light defensive volume (1.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
