Clean sheets

1.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 59.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.67 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 27.3, Ali carries the 34th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Allsvenskan of 59. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
