Output in context · FC Schalke 04 finished 1st of 18 · a title-challenging side
4.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 14 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) 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 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
