Tackles And Interceptions

This a pretty standard stat to assess how a fullback performs in terms of his ability to defend.


Last campaign, Fresneda averaged 3.25 tackles and interceptions per 90 minutes in La Liga, with Castagne posting a similar figure (3.59 per 90) in the Premier League.

It is wise not to make any definitive conclusions on this metric, basically because it only shows us how likely they are to stick a boot in.

From the looks of things, though, both players are pretty similar when trying to win possession.
