Output in context · Werder Bremen finished 15th of 18 · a lower-table side
1.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 5 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 63.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.38 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
With a Rating of 72.4, Njinmah carries the 23rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Bundesliga (top 39%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Werder Bremen finished 15th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
