Loïc Williams is a durable centre-back known for his consistent presence on the pitch, with an impressive track record of zero games missed over the last three seasons. However, his overall quality sits in the bottom 39% of his positional peers, and he struggles to make a significant impact defensively, with below-average metrics in tackles and interceptions. While he may not be the standout performer in the backline, his reliability makes him a steady option for any squad.
Availability: no injuries recorded in the last 3 seasons.
