Why we like him
The clearest reason to start him is availability and volume, he has been in Hoffenheim's Starting XI virtually every week and logged roughly 2,838 minutes this season, so his floor is the safe, full-match midfield role. There is real upside in chance creation: he averages about 0.7 key passes per game and 0.18 expected assists per 90 while completing nearly 90 percent of his passes, and he benefits from playing alongside Andrej Kramarić, who finished last season with 14 goals and seven assists, which boosts the probability his final-third service turns into real returns. Against a Köln side that conceded 63 goals in 2025‑26, Hoffenheim should see room to create, so pair his high-floor minutes with a medium ceiling; Sorare Edge projects 82.4 points with medium confidence, making him a dependable starter rather than a boom-or-bust punt.
