Clean sheets

4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 18) 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. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.56 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Creativity. 0.36 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Defensive volume. 4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 57.5% 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 45 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

Market valueRating

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 (~17), then tapers with age. At 28, Handwerker sits on 10.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Handwerker's projected Rating — 45 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.
