Clean sheets

3.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 7 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.45 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.45 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
  • Defensive volume. 3.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 6.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 14.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
