Output in context · Burton Albion finished 17th of 24 · a lower-table side
2.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 45 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th 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. Going forward he chipped in 5 goals and 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 97% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 51.7, Lofthouse carries the 2nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League One (top 4%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Burton Albion finished 17th 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 moderate defensive volume (2.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. 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.
