M. Sollbauer is a 36-year-old central defender at Ried, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 1 assists in 33 appearances, a Season grade of 29, top 42% of Bundesliga centre-backs. On long-term scout potential he's rated 16.7, ranking 197th of 207 in the Bundesliga. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (91.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.54 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sollbauer.

Judged on this season alone, Sollbauer graded 29 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 10th of 24 of the 24 centre-backs in the Bundesliga, on 6 clean sheets and 3.543 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 41 → 29). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 23rd of 24 of the 24 centre-backs in the Bundesliga. At 36 Sollbauer is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (9th of 12) 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 91.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 16.7, Sollbauer carries the 23rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga of 24, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Ried finished 9th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
