Clean sheets

5.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 11 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) 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. 5.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91.1/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 3.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 67.7 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
