Clean sheets

3.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 51.1% 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 30.9, Wagner carries the 4th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 3. Liga of 8. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
