A. Pieper is a 28-year-old central defender at Werder Bremen, rated 54.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 215th of 325 in the Bundesliga. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (72.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.31 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pieper.
Judged on this season alone, Pieper graded 33 — a solid campaign that ranks top 37% of the 52 centre-backs in the Bundesliga, on 3 clean sheets and 4.309 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 30 → 33). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 55, 33rd of 52 of the 52 centre-backs in the Bundesliga. At 28 Pieper is in his prime years, and a market index of 54.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Pieper missed 11 games through injury (knee, hip) out of roughly 34 this season. The 19 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.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
4.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) 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.
With a Rating of 54.6, Pieper carries the 33rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga of 52, 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. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years). Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~91), then tapers with age. At 28, Pieper sits on 54.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Pieper's projected Rating — 54.6 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
