What he’s worth on the pitch today — our number, not the market’s. A full-back who sees danger early and kills it fast.
GPS / value trend
Logged GPS and value trends appear after at least two real daily snapshots.
Daily snapshots only. Sparse history stays hidden rather than drawing a flat line.
Value trajectory
Value trajectory appears once GoalPost has a current FMV and dated season ratings.
Dashed line is reconstructed from season ratings, age, role, and today's GoalPost value. Logged-live value points will appear here once history accrues.

From full-back, he stays alert to the pass before it opens, stepping in cleanly, narrowing angles, and reading the next action rather than chasing the last one. His game is built on control and anticipation: tidy positioning, sharp recoveries, and the calm to break up attacks before they become urgent.
