Clean sheets

3.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 23 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.4/100).
Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Game time. Only 49.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 78.4 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.39 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.

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 (~47), then tapers with age. At 20, Jeltsch sits on 39.8, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Jeltsch's projected Rating — 78.4 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.
