D. Geiger is a 28-year-old central midfielder at 1899 Hoffenheim, rated 28.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 298th of 322 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (26.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.26 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Geiger.

Judged on this season alone, Geiger graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 50th of 59 of the 59 central midfielders in the Bundesliga, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 3.257 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 13). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 57th of 59 of the 59 central midfielders in the Bundesliga. At 28 Geiger is in his prime years, and a market index of 10.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 26.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 28.2, Geiger carries the 57th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Bundesliga of 59 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
