Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Osterhage.

Judged on this season alone, Osterhage graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 48th of 61 of the 61 central midfielders in the Bundesliga, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 3.083 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 27 → 18). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 62, 31st of 61 of the 61 central midfielders in the Bundesliga. At 26 Osterhage is in his prime years, and a market index of 36.9 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Osterhage missed 5 games through injury (knee) out of roughly 34 this season. The 20 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.
