Clean sheets

2.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 15 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 76.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.59 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Creativity. 0.59 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.5/100).

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 65.1, Ryerson carries the 25th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Bundesliga of 54. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
