Clean sheets

1.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th 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.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 91.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.9 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 19.5, Sutton carries the 9th-highest potential of the full-backs in the A-League (top 29%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Perth Glory finished 10th 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 light defensive volume (1.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
