Clean sheets

2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 11 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) 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.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.5/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 3% 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 42.8 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
