Scout report
N. Stark is a 31-year-old central defender at Werder Bremen, rated 27.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 72nd of 84 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.21 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Stark.
Judged on this season alone, Stark graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 9th of 12 of the 12 centre-backs in the Bundesliga, on 1 clean sheet and 4.209 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 41 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 12th of 12 of the 12 centre-backs in the Bundesliga. At 31 Stark is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Werder Bremen finished 15th of 18 · a lower-table side
4.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 14 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 23.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 27.8, Stark carries the 12th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga of 12 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
