Clean sheets

2.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 40 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (8th of 24) 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 4 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 65.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 29.3, Curtis carries the 29th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League One of 42. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.45 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× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
