Output in context · Nottingham Forest finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
1.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th 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. Going forward he chipped in 15 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 93.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.55 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.1/100).
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.04 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
With a Rating of 86.3, Gibbs-White carries the 4th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League (top 12%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Nottingham Forest finished 16th of 20) — 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 light defensive volume (1.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
