AI Analysis
Generated May 20, 2026

A Bundesliga center-back with a Tactico Score of 76.95 (above-average tier), built almost entirely on defensive and aerial output rather than any ball-playing contribution. His 4.16 aerials won/90 and 7.78 clearances/90 define his profile — this is a high-volume, physically engaged defender whose value is concentrated in one dimension. Possession control (72.18) is the only other sub-score above 70; everything else sits well below baseline for the role.

Why this score

The Tactico Score of 76.95 is anchored by possession control (72.18) and physical duel output (69.15), which together offset very low sub-scores in creation (20.28), progression (12.84), and finishing (18.77). Without those two defensive-adjacent strengths, this score would sit meaningfully lower.

Form Trajectory

Form score of 72.7 sits 4.3 points below the Tactico Score of 76.95 — within the ±5 stable range, though nudging toward a soft decline. The risk agent flags a more pronounced dip in its internal read (form 8+ points below its baseline estimate), so this trend is worth monitoring over the next 4–6 matches.

Similar Profiles
Players with comparable scoring profiles in the same role
Waldemar Anton

Both are Bundesliga center-backs in the 75–77 Tactico Score band who rely on defensive volume over creative output; Anton's slightly lower score (75.3) reflects a similar profile ceiling.

Compare →
James Tarkowski

Tarkowski (78.71) is the closest stylistic match — aerial-first, low creation — but his higher score reflects stronger tackle volume and more consistent duel success than this player currently produces.

Trevoh Chalobah

Chalobah (73.09) shares the limited ball-playing output, but offers more positional versatility; this player edges him on aerial and clearance volume.

Strengths
Where this player is genuinely above baseline
Aerial dominance

4.16 aerials won/90 is a standout volume for a center-back, pairing with 7.78 clearances/90 to indicate a defender who consistently wins the first and second ball in his box.

Possession control

Sub-score of 72.18 — the highest in his profile — reflects reliable ball retention under pressure, consistent with his 6.98 average match rating across 32 appearances (2,880 minutes).

Watchpoints
Real gaps relative to this player's role
Defensive actions (tackles)

1.38 tackles/90 is modest for a Bundesliga center-back. Combined with a physical duel sub-score of 69.15 — just below the above-average threshold — it suggests his defensive engagement relies more on positioning and aerial work than active ball-winning.

Ball progression and creation

Progression sub-score of 12.84 and creation sub-score of 20.28 are well below baseline for a modern center-back expected to contribute in build-up. His 0.31 key passes/90 and 0.06 assists/90 confirm a limited role in initiating attacks.
