Clean sheets

5.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 9 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) 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.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 5.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 4.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 43 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.33 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.

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 (~35), then tapers with age. At 21, Ludwig sits on 31.7, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Ludwig's projected Rating — 43 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.
