Across 14 appearances, Basse's numbers tell a clear story: his value lies overwhelmingly in defence, averaging over four tackles per match as a replacement. His carrying load is deliberately limited, suggesting his primary brief when introduced is to shore up the defensive line rather than carry ball. In his best outings he has reached eight tackles in a single game, underlining that his ceiling in this role is meaningfully high.
