Clean sheets

3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 12) 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 3 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 89.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 3.81 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 48.5, Tae-Seok carries the 2nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga (top 5%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
