Experienced headDefensive midfielder

L. Fröde is a 31-year-old defensive midfielder at FC Ingolstadt 04, rated 15.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 234th of 264 on scout potential in the 3. Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.89 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fröde.

Judged on this season alone, Fröde graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 8th of 8 of the 8 defensive midfielders in the 3. Liga, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.887 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 26 → 6). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 7th of 8 of the 8 defensive midfielders in the 3. Liga. At 31 Fröde is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 26 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, 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 15.9, Fröde carries the 7th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 3. Liga of 8 — though on just 26 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
