Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Neubauer.
Judged on this season alone, Neubauer graded 40 — a strong campaign that ranks top 19% of the 37 defensive midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga, on 2 goals, 4 assists and 2.286 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 48 → 40). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 29th of 37 of the 37 defensive 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.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Hannover 96 finished 4th of 18 · an upper-table side
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 29th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga of 37. 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).
