Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Consistent carrier with defensive bite

Across 75 matches Blacker shows a reliable, low-volume carrying game that keeps the attack ticking without overreaching his role as a nine. His nine tries across the dataset point to a threat around the fringes, while a tackle count that peaks at nine in a single outing underlines that he contributes meaningfully on the defensive side of the ball. The minutes accumulated suggest he is a trusted fixture in the matchday squad rather than a peripheral presence.
