Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 31 → 43). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, 45th of 55 of the 55 full-backs in the Bundesliga. At 31 Bensebaïni is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 19 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Bensebaïni missed 7 games through injury (foot, back, international duty) out of roughly 34 this season. The 21 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 — Bensebaïni is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Borussia Dortmund finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
3.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 5 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 62.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.41 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.5/100).
Watch points
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 42.4, Bensebaïni carries the 45th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Bundesliga of 55. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
