Clean sheets

4.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 31 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.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 84.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Defensive volume. 4.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 48.6 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~19), then tapers with age. At 28, Kunze sits on 11.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Kunze's projected Rating — 48.6 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.
