On long-term talent our Rating reads 62. At 25 Kaufmann is in his prime years, and a market index of 103.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Kaufmann missed 9 games through injury (muscle, groin) out of roughly 34 this season. The 16 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.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
1 goal in 16 appearances (0.06 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 2 goal contributions in all.
Rated 62.4 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.33 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

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 (~104), then tapers with age. At 25, Kaufmann sits on 103.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is Kaufmann's projected Rating — 62.4 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.
