Key strength: Aerial dominance
Defensive anchor
Treading water in fourth place with just one win from their last five (DWDDL), VfB Stuttgart's Champions League dream hangs in the balance—yet Jeff Chabot continues to defy expectations from the heart of their defense. The 28-year-old German centre-back, valued at €15 million, has transformed Stuttgart's set-piece threat into genuine ammunition, delivering 2 goals in just 7 appearances and 540 minutes this season. Wearing the #24 shirt, Chabot partners with Zagadou and anchors a backline flanked by Mittelstädt, bringing the aerial dominance and 65-rated defensive intelligence that make him a nightmare at both ends. With only a single yellow card tempering his combative edge, he's proving that modern centre-backs must contribute more than clean sheets. As Stuttgart fight to maintain their surprise top-four surge, Chabot's unlikely scoring touch could prove the difference between European glory and mid-table regret. In a side desperate for momentum, his aerial presence at set-pieces offers a lifeline that Sebastian Hoeneß cannot afford to ignore.
