Output in context · Kaizer Chiefs finished 3rd of 16 · an upper-table side
4.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 4.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 34% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
