Squad depthBall-winning Full-back

Max Finkgräfe is a 22-year-old full-back at RB Leipzig, rated 74.6 overall by Field Insider's model. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.3 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Finkgräfe.

On the season, Finkgräfe graded 13 for current form (age-blind), on 2 clean sheets and 4.303 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 14 → 13). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 75. At 22 Finkgräfe is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 42.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Finkgräfe missed 4 games through injury (knee) out of roughly 34 this season. The 13 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.

Clean sheets

4.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 18) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.36 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 4.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.9/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 18.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 74.6 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
