Judged on this season alone, Neubauer graded 40 — a strong campaign that ranks top 19% of the 37 defensive midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga, on 2 goals, 4 assists and 2.286 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 48 → 40). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

Clean sheets

2.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 82.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 40.6, Neubauer carries the 29th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga of 37. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
