Output in context · Hoffenheim II finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side

G+A
0.32
Goals / app

12 goals in 38 appearances (0.32 per game) is double figures — and for a lower-table side (16th of 20), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone. Add 2 assists for 14 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.62 goal contributions per 90 (0.53 goals, 0.09 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 59.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 45.4, Zeitler carries the 5th-highest potential of the wingers in the 3. Liga (top 17%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Hoffenheim II finished 16th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.62 goal contributions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
