On the season, Heintz graded 2 for current form (age-blind), on 0 clean sheets and 2.714 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 35 → 2). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 22. At 32 Heintz is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Heintz missed 5 games through injury (injury, inactive) out of roughly 34 this season. The 9 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · 1. FC Köln finished 14th of 18 · a lower-table side
2.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 9 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 15.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 21.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
