Output in context · Ghazl El Mehalla finished 16th of 21 · a lower-table side
2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 21) 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
- Availability. On the pitch for 68.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 37.1, Paulikas carries the 2nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League (top 7%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Ghazl El Mehalla finished 16th of 21) — 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 moderate defensive volume (2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
