Scout report
M. Pepić is a 30-year-old central midfielder at SSV Ulm 1846, rated 20.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 221st of 264 on scout potential in the 3. Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (44.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.3 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pepić.
Judged on this season alone, Pepić graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 65th of 94 of the 94 central midfielders in the 3. Liga, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 1.301 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 79th of 94 of the 94 central midfielders in the 3. Liga. At 30 Pepić is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · SSV Ulm 1846 finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
1.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 44.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.3 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 20.5, Pepić carries the 79th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the 3. Liga of 94, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (SSV Ulm 1846 finished 19th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
