Output in context · Wolves finished 20th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
4.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 35 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
- Availability. On the pitch for 85.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 78.6, Gomes carries the 18th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League (top 33%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Wolves finished 20th of 20) — 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 solid defensive volume (4.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
