Output in context · Stevenage finished 6th of 24 · an upper-table side
3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 24) 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 59.5% 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 42, Freestone carries the 25th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One (top 29%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.68 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.
