Clean sheets

3.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 28 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 66.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91/100).

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 45.9, Tah carries the 39th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga of 52. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
