3.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 20.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 41.9, Megwa carries the 20th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premiership of 40 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
