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 29 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 34th 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 10 → 29). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
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 19.2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · 1. FC Heidenheim finished 17th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 74.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
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.
