Rated 63.6 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.27 goal contributions 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

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 (~38), then tapers with age. At 26, Pieringer sits on 38, at or near its peak. The blue line is Pieringer's projected Rating — 63.6 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.
