Clean sheets

0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 4 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 0.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 5.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
