5.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 20 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 19.4% 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 21.8, Thalhammer carries the 5th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 3. Liga of 8 — though on just 20 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
