1 clean sheet in 6 appearances (17% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (18th of 18) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 43.1 overall — developing / rotation level. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
