Clean sheets

3.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 21 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 5 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 89.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 50.2, Ahmad carries the 4th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Pro League (top 11%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.09 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.
