Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Niehoff.
Judged on this season alone, Niehoff graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 18th of 21 of the 21 central midfielders in the Bundesliga, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 1.066 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 13). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 56, top 5% of the 21 central midfielders in the Bundesliga. At 22 Niehoff is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 10.3 reflects that trajectory.

Output in context · SCR Altach finished 8th of 12 · a mid-table side
1.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 27.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 55.9, Niehoff carries the 1st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Bundesliga of 21 — though on just 27 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
