Clean sheets

2.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.3% 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 30.6, Otto carries the 70th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the 3. Liga of 107. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.11 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.
