Scout report
D. Nothnagel is a 31-year-old central defender at Stuttgart II, rated 17.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 228th of 264 on scout potential in the 3. Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (39.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.54 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Nothnagel.
Judged on this season alone, Nothnagel graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 46 of the 46 centre-backs in the 3. Liga, on 2 clean sheets and 2.543 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 13 → 8).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 43rd of 46 of the 46 centre-backs in the 3. Liga. At 31 Nothnagel is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Stuttgart II finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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 39.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, 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 17.7, Nothnagel carries the 43rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 3. Liga of 46, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Stuttgart II finished 14th 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 (2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
