Clean sheets

2.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) 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 8 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 84.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.44 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 47.3, Seidl carries the 4th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga (top 9%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (FC BW Linz finished 12th of 12) — 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 moderate defensive volume (2.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
