Clean sheets

0.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 33 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 7 goals and 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.73 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Creativity. 0.37 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.4/100).

Watch points

Game time. Only 56.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Defensive numbers. Modest 0.94 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 59.8 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~48), then tapers with age. At 28, Führich sits on 28.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Führich's projected Rating — 59.8 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
