3.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 10 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) 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.

At 27, Carstens sits on 5.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Carstens's projected Rating — 28.4 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.
