Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sauer.
Judged on this season alone, Sauer graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 5th of 12 of the 12 wingers in the Eredivisie, on 3 goals and 2 assists in 20 appearances (0.317 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 40 → 26). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 77, top 17% of the 12 wingers in the Eredivisie. At 20 Sauer is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 83.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Sauer missed 9 games through injury (muscle, inactive, hamstring) out of roughly 34 this season. The 20 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.
3 goals in 20 appearances (0.15 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 5 goal contributions in all.
With a Rating of 76.7, Sauer carries the 2nd-highest potential of the wingers in the Eredivisie (top 17%). In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.32 goal contributions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~98), then tapers with age. At 20, Sauer sits on 83.4, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Sauer's projected Rating — 76.7 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.
