Clean sheets

3.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 58.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 62.9, Upamecano carries the 21st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga of 52. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.41 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.
