Output in context · ST Mirren finished 10th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
4.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 39 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th of 12) 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. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 91.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 50.1, Freckleton carries the 3rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premiership (top 8%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (ST Mirren finished 10th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
