Scout report

Squad depthBall-winning Central defender

S. Köhler is a 29-year-old central defender at Grasshoppers, rated 22.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 200th of 233 on scout potential in the Super League. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.11 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Köhler.

Judged on this season alone, Köhler graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 28th of 37 of the 37 centre-backs in the Super League, on 2 clean sheets and 4.11 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 40 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 29th of 37 of the 37 centre-backs in the Super League. At 29 Köhler is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (11th 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 29.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 22.5, Köhler carries the 29th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Super League of 37 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
