On long-term talent our Rating reads 36. At 21 Popp is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 16.7 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.
0.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 16 appearances.
Rated 35.6 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~19), then tapers with age. At 21, Popp sits on 16.7, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Popp's projected Rating — 35.6 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
