In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (95.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.45 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Tapsoba.
Judged on this season alone, Tapsoba graded 34 — a solid campaign that ranks top 33% of the 55 full-backs in the Bundesliga, on 7 clean sheets and 2.446 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 33 → 34). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 72, top 39% of the 55 full-backs in the Bundesliga. At 27 Tapsoba is in his prime years, and a market index of 42.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Tapsoba missed 4 games through injury (rest, international duty, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 29 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Bayer Leverkusen finished 6th of 18 · an upper-table side
2.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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 5 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 95.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.3/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 71.6, Tapsoba carries the 21st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Bundesliga (top 39%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
