Clean sheets

3.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (8th 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

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 44.7, Sorinola carries the 14th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One (top 16%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
