In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (65.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lokonga.
Judged on this season alone, Lokonga graded 44 — a solid campaign that ranks top 35% of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga, on 5 goals, 0 assists and 2.996 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 17 → 44). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 68, 24th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga. At 26 Lokonga is in his prime years, and a market index of 44.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Lokonga missed 5 games through injury (injury, thigh, fitness) out of roughly 34 this season. The 26 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
A career still climbing — Lokonga is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Hamburger SV finished 13th of 18 · a lower-table side
3 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 5 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 65.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 68.3, Lokonga carries the 24th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga of 55, 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 (3 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
