Acosta's tackle numbers stand out as his defining contribution — averaging over seven per match across the Championship, with a single-game peak of 14 that signals he can absorb enormous defensive workloads when required. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, averaging around five and a half runs and just over eleven metres per match, painting a picture of a centre who prioritises structure and physicality over line-breaking. The consistency of his output across all four matches underlines a player who rarely drops below his own standard.
