Clean sheets

1.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 16) 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 44.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.9 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 18.6, Verdon carries the 31st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the First League of 46. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
