Clean sheets

3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) 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 5 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 97.9/100).

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 94, Gravenberch carries the 2nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League (top 4%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
