Experienced headBall-winning Defensive midfielder

F. Holland is a 36-year-old defensive midfielder at SV Darmstadt 98, rated 12.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 318th of 320 on scout potential in the 2. Bundesliga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.14 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Holland.

Judged on this season alone, Holland graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 37 of the 37 defensive midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 5.139 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 20 → 9). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 37th of 37 of the 37 defensive midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga. At 36 Holland is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

5.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 36, 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 12.3, Holland carries the 37th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga of 37 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
