Clean sheets

2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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.

Outlook

Rated 37.1 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.95 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 (~9), then tapers with age. At 27, Jakobs sits on 8.5, at or near its peak. The blue line is Jakobs's projected Rating — 37.1 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.
