Pulling current player details into TactiQ.
TactiQ Score, per-90 performance stats, and multi-season form — with direct routes into compare and rankings.

A reliable defensive midfielder in the Bundesliga with a TQ Score of 85.76, placing him in the elite tier — a clear standout contribution level. His profile is built on physical defensive output rather than creative or goal-scoring production, with 1.56 tackles/90, 5.5 duels won/90 at a 63% success rate, and 2.19 aerials won/90 forming the core of his value. Across 32 matches and 2,880 minutes this season, the data sample is robust and the 0.86 confidence score reinforces the reliability of this assessment.
The TQ Score of 85.76 is driven primarily by consistent physical and defensive engagement metrics — duels, aerials, and tackles — that meet or exceed positional baselines for a defensive midfielder. The absence of null sub-scores prevents a more granular breakdown, but the per-90 defensive output and 6.97 average match rating anchor the overall figure.
Form score of 80.05 sits 5.71 points below the TQ Score of 85.76, placing this player at the boundary of a soft decline. The dip is real but not yet a meaningful concern — the 0.86 confidence score and 91% data completeness suggest this reflects a genuine recent dip in output rather than noise.
Both are physical, defensively-oriented midfielders with similar TQ Score bands (85.76 vs 86.63), though Xhaka contributes more in the creative and progressive phases of play.

Comparable defensive midfield profile and TQ Score proximity (85.76 vs 83.78), but Zubimendi operates in a higher-possession system that inflates his passing and creation metrics relative to this player.
Similar Bundesliga context and role bucket with a slightly higher TQ Score (87.92 vs 85.76); Stach edges ahead on creative output, where this player's 0.72 key passes/90 trails the comparison.
2.19 aerials won per 90 is above typical for a defensive midfielder, providing a reliable aerial platform in midfield duels and set-piece situations.
5.5 duels won per 90 at a 63% success rate reflects consistent physical engagement — a core requirement for the defensive midfield role that this player meets with regularity.
1.56 tackles/90 and 1.41 clearances/90 are adequate but not standout for a Bundesliga defensive midfielder — sufficient to hold a starting role but not a differentiating strength.
0.72 key passes/90 and 0.19 big chances created/90 are modest even by defensive midfield standards, limiting his influence in the build-up phase of modern pressing systems.
A 0–100 measure of overall quality. Combines statistical output with league difficulty, multi-season weighting, and a consistency factor. Target range for strong players: 70–85.
Weighted toward recent matches. Can diverge from the TactiQ Score when current form is meaningfully stronger or weaker than the multi-season average.
How much evidence supports this score. Lower confidence means thinner data — fewer seasons, fewer appearances, or gaps in coverage. A provisional score is real signal with appropriate caveats.
TactiQ Scores are deterministic — given the same evidence, they produce the same output. The evidence packet system, confidence labels, and publication gate are all explained in full.
