Clean sheets

3.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 48.6, Woolfenden carries the 49th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 82. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.11 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.
