Clean sheets

4.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 53% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49.1, Min-Jae carries the 38th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga of 52. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
