Clean sheets

1.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 47.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.76 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 40.3, Debrah carries the 33rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One (top 38%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Port Vale finished 22nd 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 (1.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
