Output in context · SC Paderborn 07 finished 3rd of 18 · an upper-table side
2.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 22 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 34.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 62.1, Müller carries the 7th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the 2. Bundesliga (top 18%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
