Clean sheets

4.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th 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 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 62.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.37 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 43.9, Matić carries the 9th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga (top 36%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Wolfsberger AC finished 10th 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 (4.37 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 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
