Scout report
N. Bretschneider is a 26-year-old central midfielder at FC Saarbrücken, rated 34.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 180th of 323 on scout potential in the 3. Liga. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (47% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.4 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bretschneider.
Judged on this season alone, Bretschneider graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 51st of 107 of the 107 central midfielders in the 3. Liga, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 1.401 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 20 → 14). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 57th of 107 of the 107 central midfielders in the 3. Liga. At 26 Bretschneider is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · FC Saarbrücken finished 15th of 20 · a lower-table side
1.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 20) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 47% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.4 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 34.1, Bretschneider carries the 57th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the 3. Liga of 107, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (FC Saarbrücken finished 15th of 20) — 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 light defensive volume (1.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
