Output in context · Birmingham finished 10th of 24 · a mid-table side
1.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 53.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.71 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 44.6, Roberts carries the 56th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 73. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
