Clean sheets

6.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 5 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 16) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Defensive volume. 6.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 33.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 25.7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
