Output in context · VfL Bochum finished 9th of 18 · a mid-table side
7.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 2 appearances.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 7.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 1.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 15.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (7.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
