J. Meier is a 26-year-old full-back at SSV Ulm 1846, rated 33.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 183rd of 323 on scout potential in the 3. Liga. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (48.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.62 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Meier.

Judged on this season alone, Meier graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 48 of the 48 full-backs in the 3. Liga, on 2 clean sheets and 1.618 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 9 → 6). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 30th of 48 of the 48 full-backs in the 3. Liga. At 26 Meier is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.62 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 33.7, Meier carries the 30th-highest potential of the full-backs in the 3. Liga of 48, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (SSV Ulm 1846 finished 19th 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 light defensive volume (1.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
