Clean sheets

0.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.4/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 69.7, Karabec carries the 14th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Ligue 1 (top 32%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
