Jan-Niklas Beste is the Gold Engine within Freiburg's tactical machinery. A veteran of six career trophies, including league titles in Germany and a cup win in Portugal, the 27-year-old provides a foundation of success for his side. While classified as a tireless runner, his data suggests a hybrid profile that leans heavily into creative territory.
His identity as an ARCHITECT is backed by 2.18 key passes per 90 minutes across 14 appearances this season. Having logged 990 minutes, Beste is an established presence in the starting eleven, though his current form rating of 23 indicates he is searching for rhythm compared to his stable season ability of 53. His Passing dimension of 66 is the cornerstone of his game, allowing him to dictate the tempo of matches even when his clinical finishing is temporarily labeled as WASTEFUL. Maintaining a high level of Intensity in his pressing will be the key to reversing his recent cooling spell.
With a market value of €7M and a downward trend, the Stakes are high for the midfielder to recapture his peak output. His ability to find the right Balance between defensive work rate and high-value chance creation remains his most significant contribution to the team's tactical setup.
