Clean sheets

3.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 16.8% 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 45.6 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
