Clean sheets

4.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 3 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 4) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Defensive volume. 4.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 42.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

At 30, Knaak sits on 0, at or near its peak. The blue line is Knaak's projected Rating — 0.9 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
