Outlook

With a Rating of 36.3, Pichler carries the 41st-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga of 48 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.45 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~14), then tapers with age. At 29, Pichler sits on 7.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Pichler's projected Rating — 36.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
