Squad depthCreative Defensive midfielder

A. Grønbæk is a 25-year-old defensive midfielder at Hamburger SV, rated 66.6 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.91 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Grønbæk.

On the season, Grønbæk graded 24 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 2 assists and 4.909 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 28 → 24). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 67. At 25 Grønbæk is in his prime years, and a market index of 39.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Grønbæk missed 12 games through injury (injury, thigh, inactive) out of roughly 34 this season. The 7 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

4.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 7 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.55 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.36 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
  • Defensive volume. 4.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 66.6 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
