Across 66 matches Du Plessis shows up as a high-volume contributor on both sides of the ball, averaging over six carries and six tackles per game with the consistency you expect from a reliable midfield cornerstone. His single-game peaks — 15 carries, 86 metres, and 18 tackles — point to an ability to step up his workload significantly when the match demands it. The volume of minutes accumulated underlines that he is a durable presence rather than an impact substitute.
