Gustavo Sauer is a 33-year-old central midfielder at Wuhan Three Towns, rated 13.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 182nd of 271 in the Super League. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (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 46 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 6% of the 52 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 → 46). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 34th of 52 of the 52 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 1.3 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Sauer is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
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.
With a Rating of 13.7, Sauer carries the 34th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League of 52, 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).

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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 33, Sauer sits on 1.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Sauer's projected Rating — 13.7 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.
