Clean sheets

4.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 35.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 44.1, Earley carries the 16th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One (top 19%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
