Output in context · Peterborough finished 21st of 24 · a lower-table side
5.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 3 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (21st 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 5.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 13% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 39.6 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
