Clean sheets

4.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 17 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 17 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 60.1, Eichhorn carries the 13th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga of 20. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 17 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 17, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
