Clean sheets

4.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 8 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 18) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 47.1% 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 42.4, Boushal carries the 3rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Pro League of 22 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.25 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.
