Clean sheets

3.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 81.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 42.3, Briedl carries the 16th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga of 39, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (FC BW Linz finished 12th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
