Output in context · Werder Bremen finished 15th of 18 · a lower-table side
10 goals in 29 appearances (0.34 per game) is double figures — and for a lower-table side (15th of 18), 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 12 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 80.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Final-third output. 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.37 goals, 0.07 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 46.8, Stage carries the 4th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Bundesliga of 7, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Werder Bremen finished 15th of 18) — 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 productive contributor (0.44 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
