On long-term scout potential he's rated 13.7, ranking 175th of 244 in the Super League. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (86.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.59 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sauer.
Judged on this season alone, Sauer graded 50 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 6% of the 51 central midfielders in the Super League, on 6 goals, 6 assists and 2.592 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 50). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 37th of 51 of the 51 central midfielders in the Super League. At 33 Sauer is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Sauer is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Wuhan Three Towns finished 13th of 16 · a lower-table side
2.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 16) 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 6 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 86.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.46 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 33, 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 13.7, Sauer carries the 37th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League of 51, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Wuhan Three Towns finished 13th of 16) — 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 (2.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
