A young player, he has been a regular starter this season (76.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.82 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90.

Judged on this season alone, Morgalla graded 28 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 15th of 20 of the 20 centre-backs in the Bundesliga, on 6 clean sheets and 2.815 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 1 → 28). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Clean sheets

2.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 12) 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

  • Availability. On the pitch for 76.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 64.8, Morgalla carries the 1st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga (top 5%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.82 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. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
