Clean sheets

3.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 13 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 70.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 20.6, Müller carries the 48th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 3. Liga of 53. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
