Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 14 → 4). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 58. At 24 Stergiou is in his prime years, and a market index of 34.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Stergiou missed 6 games through injury (muscle, foot, ankle) out of roughly 34 this season. The 6 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

6.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 6 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th of 18) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 6.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 8.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 57.9 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.18 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.
