Clean sheets

5.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Defensive volume. 5.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 25.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 9.4, Lerager carries the 18th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Ekstraklasa of 18 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~2), then tapers with age. At 33, Lerager sits on 0.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Lerager's projected Rating — 9.4 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.
