AI Analysis
Generated May 10, 2026

A physically dominant Premier League center-back whose aerial and duel output sits well above typical role baselines — 4.06 aerials won/90 and 6.32 duels won/90 at 68% success are the defining features of his profile. His TQ Score of 87.26 places him in the elite band (85–89), though a meaningful form dip tempers the current picture. Active ball-winning via tackles (1.26/90) is the clearest gap in an otherwise strong defensive package.

Why this score

The 87.26 TQ Score is driven primarily by elite aerial dominance and high-volume physical defensive output — 4.06 aerials won/90 and 6.59 clearances/90 are the standout contributors. The absence of sub-scores prevents a full dimensional breakdown, but the physical and duel metrics are the clear engine of this rating.

Form Trajectory

Form score of 79.48 sits 7.78 points below the TQ Score of 87.26, which constitutes a soft-to-meaningful decline signal. With a score confidence of 0.97 across 34 matches, this gap is unlikely to be noise — it reflects a genuine dip in recent output rather than a thin sample artefact.

Strengths
Where this player is genuinely above baseline
Aerial dominance

4.06 aerials won per 90 is a headline figure for a Premier League center-back, underpinning his value in both defensive and set-piece phases.

Physical duel volume

6.32 duels won per 90 at a 68% success rate reflects consistent, high-engagement defensive work across 3,060 minutes this season.

Clearance output

6.59 clearances per 90 over 34 matches signals reliable last-line defensive contribution with no obvious volatility.

Watchpoints
Real gaps relative to this player's role
Active ball-winning

Tackles at 1.26/90 fall below the typical center-back baseline of 1.5–2.5/90, suggesting he is more reactive and positional than proactively aggressive in winning the ball back.

Duel success rate

A 68% duel success rate is solid but short of the 70–72%+ threshold associated with elite center-backs at this level, leaving a marginal but real gap at the top end.

Reading the score

What each number means

TactiQ Score

A 0–100 measure of overall quality. Combines statistical output with league difficulty, multi-season weighting, and a consistency factor. Target range for strong players: 70–85.

Form Score

Weighted toward recent matches. Can diverge from the TactiQ Score when current form is meaningfully stronger or weaker than the multi-season average.

Confidence

How much evidence supports this score. Lower confidence means thinner data — fewer seasons, fewer appearances, or gaps in coverage. A provisional score is real signal with appropriate caveats.

Methodology

TactiQ Scores are deterministic — given the same evidence, they produce the same output. The evidence packet system, confidence labels, and publication gate are all explained in full.
