Clean sheets

2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 50.1 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years). Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
