Mats Rots

Hoffenheim just added a left back who supplied genuine attacking value last season, producing four goals, four assists and creating 51 chances while logging nearly every minute for Twente, so he brings a higher-than-usual ceiling for a defender. He is a STARTER with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, averaging 90 minutes per game, which makes his minutes floor attractive. Hoffenheim open at 1. FC Köln, a fairly porous defense that conceded 63 league goals in 2025/26, so Rots should be rostered for upside on the flank and attacking returns, even though clean-sheet chances are limited; Hoffenheim confirmed the signing this summer. Sorare Edge gives him an 83.4 projection with medium confidence, which fits the profile: dependable minutes and real assist/shot potential create a solid ceiling, while the Köln matchup caps his defensive floor, so treat him as a high-upside starter rather than a guaranteed points machine.
