Clean sheets

2.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

Game time. Only 54.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 28.2, Bitter carries the 36th-highest potential of the full-backs in the 3. Liga of 48. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~15), then tapers with age. At 29, Bitter sits on 8.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Bitter's projected Rating — 28.2 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.
