Silvan Hefti

Key strength: Pace and recovery

Overlapping full-back

Silvan Hefti operates as the overlapping right-back for Hamburger SV, currently positioned 11th in the league table. At 28 years old, the Swiss defender brings €700,000 in market value and serves as a squad player in a team featuring notable talents like Fábio Vieira (rating 75) and Luka Vuskovic (rating 68). Hefti's game is built around his pace and recovery abilities, fitting the modern overlapping full-back archetype that demands both defensive solidity and attacking support. While his overall rating of 45 suggests he's fighting for regular minutes in a competitive HSV squad, his physical attributes (55) and defensive awareness (55) provide coach Thomas Wörle with a reliable rotational option. As Hamburger SV look to climb the table from mid-table mediocrity, Hefti's experience and tactical discipline in the right-back role could prove valuable—particularly in fixtures where defensive stability takes priority over creative flair.
