Clean sheets

4.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Defensive volume. 4.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.9/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 54.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 74.2, Chaves carries the 11th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga (top 21%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
