Output in context · Lexington finished 9th of 12 · a lower-table side
3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (9th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 55.5% 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 25.8, Djeffal carries the 6th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the USL Championship (top 36%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Lexington finished 9th 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 solid defensive volume (3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
