Clean sheets

1.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.97 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 41.9, May carries the 9th-highest potential of the full-backs in the 3. Liga (top 19%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
