Output in context · Orlando Pirates finished 1st of 16 · a title-challenging side
4.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 7 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 4.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 35.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 2025, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 0.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
