Watch points

  • Game time. Only 50.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 35.9, Maier carries the 20th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Bundesliga of 29, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (FC BW Linz finished 12th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.32 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.
