Clean sheets

3.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (19th of 24) 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 62.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 25.3, Sang carries the 43rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League Two of 67, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Shrewsbury finished 19th of 24) — 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 (3.84 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.
