E. Tapsoba is a 27-year-old full-back at Bayer Leverkusen, rated 71.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 119th of 325 in the Bundesliga. 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 118.9 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.
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.
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.

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 (~119), then tapers with age. At 27, Tapsoba sits on 118.9, at or near its peak. The blue line is Tapsoba's projected Rating — 71.6 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.
