Clean sheets

2.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 33 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 80.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.5/100).

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 81.5, Svensson carries the 9th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga (top 17%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
