Why we like him
Hajdari stands out as a reliable, minutes-eating defender who offers real upside against a leaky Köln backline, he is a STARTER averaging 85 minutes per game with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his floor is attractive for lineups when Hoffenheim pick a settled Starting XI. He also brings attacking value from set pieces and progressive play, finishing 2025/26 with a goal, two assists and a healthy 1.73 xG and 1.62 xA while creating chances from dead balls and open play. Köln conceded 63 goals in 2025/26, which increases Hajdari's ceiling for clean-sheet plus bonus-point outcomes in the upcoming away opener. Hoffenheim locked him down with a contract extension in April and Sorare Edge projects an 80.9 with medium confidence, so treat him as a high-floor starter with solid upside rather than a punt.
