On long-term talent our Rating reads 42. At 28 Leitsch is in his prime years, and a market index of 41.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Leitsch missed 11 games through injury (thigh, injury, illness) out of roughly 34 this season. The 3 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.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
5.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 3 appearances.
Rated 41.8 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~69), then tapers with age. At 28, Leitsch sits on 41.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Leitsch's projected Rating — 41.8 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.
