About Julian Pauli
Julian Pauli is a developing centre-back whose current form suggests he’s still finding his footing in the professional game. With a Sofascore rating in the bottom 6% of his peers, he struggles to make a significant impact on matches, lacking standout strengths in key defensive metrics. Additionally, his injury history raises concerns about reliability, having missed 20 games over the last three seasons. While he has potential, he needs to elevate his performance to become a more consistent presence at the back.
Availability: 20 games missed in the last 3 seasons.
