Output in context · FC Schalke 04 finished 1st of 18 · a title-challenging side
4.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
- Defensive volume. 4.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 50.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 65.6, Becker carries the 3rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 2. Bundesliga (top 12%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
