N. Dorsch is a 28-year-old defensive midfielder at 1. FC Heidenheim, rated 53.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 220th of 325 in the Bundesliga. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (74.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.37 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dorsch.
Judged on this season alone, Dorsch graded 30 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.37 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 30). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 54, 39th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga. At 28 Dorsch is in his prime years, and a market index of 53.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th of 18) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 53.6, Dorsch carries the 39th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga of 55, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (1. FC Heidenheim finished 17th of 18) — 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 moderate defensive volume (3.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years). Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

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 (~89), then tapers with age. At 28, Dorsch sits on 53.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Dorsch's projected Rating — 53.6 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.
