Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Groß.

Judged on this season alone, Groß graded 8 — a strong campaign that ranks top 26% of the 35 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 2.039 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 48 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 34th of 35 of the 35 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 35 Groß is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.5/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 20.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, 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 15.6, Groß carries the 34th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 35 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
