His defensive output reads 2.26 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Krahn.

Judged on this season alone, Krahn graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 99th of 108 of the 108 central midfielders in the 3. Liga, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.257 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 10 → 5). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

Clean sheets

2.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 20) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 28% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 37.4, Krahn carries the 41st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the 3. Liga (top 38%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (FC Saarbrücken finished 15th of 20) — 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 (2.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
