AI Analysis
Generated May 10, 2026

A multi-dimensional defensive midfielder in the Premier League whose 87.79 TQ Score places him in the elite tier — a clear standout contribution above typical starters. What separates him most is creation output that significantly exceeds the defensive midfield baseline: 1.43 key passes/90 and 0.34 big chances created/90 sit alongside a 3.26 tackles/90 defensive workload, making him genuinely two-way. His 7.32 average rating across 35 appearances (3,144 minutes) reflects sustained, not sporadic, quality.

Why this score

The TQ Score of 87.79 is driven by the combination of high defensive volume and above-role creation output, validated by a score confidence of 0.96 — one of the most reliable readings on the platform. The consensus was unanimous across all three specialist agents, with individual scores of 68, 78, and 72 converging on a strong elite-tier profile.

Form Trajectory

Form score of 92.69 sits 4.9 points above the TQ Score of 87.79 — just inside the stable threshold but trending toward an upward trajectory. The risk-form agent flags this as an improving profile, with no volatility or sample-size concerns at 0.96 confidence.

Strengths
Where this player is genuinely above baseline
Defensive output

3.26 tackles/90 and 2.35 clearances/90 represent consistent defensive engagement across 35 Premier League appearances. A 61% duel success rate from 5.44 duels won/90 confirms effectiveness, not just volume.

Creation for role

1.43 key passes/90 and 0.34 big chances created/90 are notably above typical defensive midfielder baselines, complemented by 0.20 assists/90 — a meaningful creative contribution from deep.

Watchpoints
Real gaps relative to this player's role
Aerial presence

0.74 aerials won/90 is a genuine gap for a defensive midfielder who will routinely face set-piece and long-ball situations. This limits his ability to act as a physical shield in the air.

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.
