Clean sheets

3.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 28 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 62% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.4/100).

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49.9, Karazor carries the 9th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Bundesliga of 16. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
