Clean sheets

1.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 9 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 66.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.66 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.5/100).

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.9 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 88.8, Beier carries the 2nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga (top 4%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
