Clean sheets

3.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 12) 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

With a Rating of 26.6, Rasmussen carries the 16th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga of 24. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~5), then tapers with age. At 29, Rasmussen sits on 2.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Rasmussen's projected Rating — 26.6 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.
