Watch points

  • Game time. Only 51% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.52 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 25.3, Sell carries the 25th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 1. Division of 32 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.52 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.
