Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 20). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 35th of 37 of the 37 central midfielders in the 3. Liga. At 34 Saller is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 55% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, 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 11.7, Saller carries the 35th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the 3. Liga of 37, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (SSV Jahn Regensburg finished 18th 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 moderate defensive volume (3.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
