Clean sheets

4.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 91.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 41.7, Oberdorf carries the 37th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 2. Bundesliga of 57, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Fortuna Düsseldorf finished 17th 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 (4.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
