On the season, Hofmann graded 20 for current form (age-blind), on 2 goals, 2 assists and 1.33 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 16 → 16). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 19. At 34 Hofmann is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Bayer Leverkusen finished 6th of 18 · an upper-table side
1.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.3/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 33.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 18.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
