Clean sheets

1.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 12) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 45.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.67 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 27.7, Maples carries the 17th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the USL Championship (top 29%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.67 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.
