A Premier League center-back sitting at 76.05 on the Tactico scale — good, with consistent above-baseline contribution across 3,031 minutes this season. The most distinctive quality is ball retention: a possession control sub-score of 78.39 is the clear standout in an otherwise defensively-oriented profile. Physical duel output is solid, but creation and progression sub-scores (19.83 and 13.46) are negligible, as expected for the role.
The 76.05 Tactico Score is anchored by a possession control sub-score of 78.39 and a physical duel sub-score of 61.1, which together reflect a center-back who is reliable in possession and competitive in duels. The defense sub-score of 44.52 — below the 55-69 midrange — is the primary drag, preventing a higher overall rating despite strong physical metrics.
