A. Knauff is a 24-year-old central midfielder at Eintracht Frankfurt, rated 74.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 93rd of 325 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (49.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.49 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Knauff.

Judged on this season alone, Knauff graded 31 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 35 of the 35 central midfielders in the Bundesliga, on 4 goals, 1 assist and 1.486 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 31 → 31). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 75, top 40% of the 35 central midfielders in the Bundesliga. At 24 Knauff is in his prime years, and a market index of 44.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Knauff missed 4 games through injury (surgery) out of roughly 34 this season. The 28 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.
