Scout report

Squad depthFull-back

N. Süle is a 30-year-old full-back at Borussia Dortmund, rated 37.3 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.77 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Süle.

On the season, Süle graded 14 for current form (age-blind), on 2 clean sheets and 2.772 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 37. At 30 Süle is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 11.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Süle missed 11 games through injury (calf, toe, thigh) out of roughly 34 this season. The 11 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

2.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 11 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.5/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 37.3 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
