Scout report
Leander Nicolas Popp is a 21-year-old central midfielder at FC Viktoria Köln, rated 35.6 overall by Field Insider's model. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (4.1% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Popp.
On the season, Popp graded 0 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 0.703 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 6 → 0). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 36. At 21 Popp is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Popp missed 3 games through injury (overstretching of the syndesmotic ligament) out of roughly 38 this season. The 16 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
