Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.46 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 57.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 0.36 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 44.6, Sturm carries the 9th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the 3. Liga of 94 — though on just 0 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
