Clean sheets

2.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) 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 6 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.41 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Outlook

Rated 35.3 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.03 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.

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 (~19), then tapers with age. At 27, Müsel sits on 9.5, at or near its peak. The blue line is Müsel's projected Rating — 35.3 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.
