Clean sheets

3.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 5 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Defensive volume. 3.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.8% 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 20.1, Farquharson carries the 42nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League Two of 76. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
