On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 17th of 21 of the 21 central midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga. At 30 Neubauer is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 12.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) 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 2 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 82.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 40.3, Neubauer carries the 17th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga of 21. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
