Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

A. Hoffmann is a 33-year-old central defender at CSKA 1948, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 19 appearances, a Season grade of 10, top 74% of First League centre-backs. On long-term scout potential he's rated 8.3, ranking 237th of 252 in the First League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (22.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.56 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hoffmann.

Judged on this season alone, Hoffmann graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 34th of 46 of the 46 centre-backs in the First League, on 3 clean sheets and 2.564 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 25 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 8, 42nd of 46 of the 46 centre-backs in the First League. At 33 Hoffmann is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 16) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, 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 8.3, Hoffmann carries the 42nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the First League of 46 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
