Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Seguin.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 38 → 25). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 33rd of 37 of the 37 defensive midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga. At 31 Seguin is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7 reflects that trajectory.

  • Availability. On the pitch for 75.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.82 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 32.8, Seguin carries the 33rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga of 37. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
