Scout report
S. Lynen is a 27-year-old defensive midfielder at Werder Bremen, rated 64.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 159th of 325 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (92.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.96 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lynen.
Judged on this season alone, Lynen graded 36 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.962 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 42 → 36). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 64, 30th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga. At 27 Lynen is in his prime years, and a market index of 38.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Werder Bremen finished 15th of 18 · a lower-table side
4.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 92.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 64.3, Lynen carries the 30th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga of 55, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Werder Bremen finished 15th 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 (4.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
