Output in context · 1899 Hoffenheim finished 5th of 18 · an upper-table side
3.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 31 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
- Availability. On the pitch for 71.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 64.1, Lenz carries the 32nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Bundesliga of 59. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
