Clean sheets

2.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 8 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th of 10) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 5.6% 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 16.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
