Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 18 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 47.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 60.6, Pedrosa carries the 11th-highest potential of the full-backs in the 2. Bundesliga (top 18%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
