Output in context · 1899 Hoffenheim finished 5th of 18 · an upper-table side
3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 4 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 79.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Outlook
Rated 83.5 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.5 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 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
