Output in context · Manchester City finished 2nd of 20 · a title-challenging side
4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 99.5/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 46.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 81.1, González carries the 13th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League (top 24%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
