D. Heintz is a 32-year-old central defender at 1. FC Köln, rated 21.5 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (15.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.71 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Heintz.
On the season, Heintz graded 2 for current form (age-blind), on 0 clean sheets and 2.714 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 35 → 2). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 22. At 32 Heintz is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Heintz missed 5 games through injury (injury, inactive) out of roughly 34 this season. The 9 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 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 9 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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.
Rated 21.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

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 (~13), then tapers with age. At 32, Heintz sits on 5.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Heintz's projected Rating — 21.5 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.
