Squad depthBall-winning Defensive midfielder

Y. Keitel is a 26-year-old defensive midfielder at FC Augsburg, rated 54.5 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (11.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.37 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Keitel.

On the season, Keitel graded 4 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.372 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 4 → 4). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 55. At 26 Keitel is in his prime years, and a market index of 32.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Keitel missed 10 games through injury (thigh, knee) out of roughly 34 this season. The 6 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

4.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 6 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 11.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 54.5 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
