Nicolas Höfler Scout Report

At 34, Nicolas Höfler remains a sturdy presence in Freiburg's midfield, embodying the resilience expected from a seasoned Bundesliga campaigner. His style of play is quintessentially disciplined, prioritising ball retention and accuracy, where he ranks above average compared to his peers. It's Höfler's aerial prowess and ability to win duels that stand out, with statistics certainly backing this up—an aspect that defines his game. With an aerial duel win rate among the league's elite, he's an unwavering fortress when contesting high balls. However, he isn't the linchpin for progressing the play with carries or passes, suggesting a more conservative role in ball advancement. His chance creation and goal threat metrics leave much to be desired, placing him in the lower echelons of creativity among central midfielders. Yet, as a defensive bulwark, his knack for interceptions showcases his tactical intelligence and awareness in breaking opposition plays. Despite commendable defensive stats, Höfler's aggressive approach is mirrored by frequent fouls and yellow cards, underscoring a potential area to temper on the pitch. While not a flashy contributor in the final third, his reliability in midfield and defensive thirds remains an asset to Viktoria Freiburg, underpinning his experience and value to the squad.
