Output in context · Cheltenham finished 18th of 24 · a lower-table side
24.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 1 appearance. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th 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. 24.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 0.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 2025, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 1.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (24.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
