Clean sheets

2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 26 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 0 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 45.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 74, Mikelbrencis carries the 20th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga (top 37%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Hamburger SV finished 13th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
