Clean sheets

4.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 26 appearances.

Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~27), then tapers with age. At 29, Becker sits on 14.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Becker's projected Rating — 41.8 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
