Output in context · SpVgg Greuther Fürth finished 16th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 81.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 33, 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 23.8, Ziereis carries the 53rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 2. Bundesliga of 57, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (SpVgg Greuther Fürth finished 16th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
