O. Kabak is a 26-year-old central defender at 1899 Hoffenheim, rated 72.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 119th of 323 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (65.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.01 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kabak.
Judged on this season alone, Kabak graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Bundesliga, on 4 clean sheets and 3.012 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 26 → 24). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 73, top 34% of the 54 centre-backs in the Bundesliga. At 26 Kabak is in his prime years, and a market index of 43.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Kabak missed 4 games through injury (knee, ruptured cruciate ligament) out of roughly 34 this season. The 25 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.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · 1899 Hoffenheim finished 5th of 18 · an upper-table side
3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 4 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 65.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.9/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 72.5, Kabak carries the 18th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga (top 34%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
