Tshiunza's match data tells the story of a player built around defensive output — averaging seven tackles per game across 22 matches is a consistent, high-volume workload that shapes his value in the forward unit. His carrying numbers are modest but purposeful, averaging just over eight metres per game with a single-match peak of 38 metres, suggesting he picks his moments rather than dominating with ball in hand. When the defensive pressure peaks, he rises to meet it — an 18-tackle performance stands as a marker of what he can produce at his ceiling.
