Clean sheets

1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 4 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 16) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 10% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 0.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
