Output in context · FC Winterthur finished 12th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
4.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 30 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 67% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 26.4, Arnold carries the 26th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Super League of 37, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (FC Winterthur finished 12th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
