N. Stark is a 31-year-old central defender at Werder Bremen, rated 30.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 301st of 325 in the Bundesliga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (36.7% 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 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 45th of 52 of the 52 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 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 51st of 52 of the 52 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 22.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Stark missed 11 games through injury and 1 suspension (hip, lacking match fitness, muscle) out of roughly 34 this season. The 14 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
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.
With a Rating of 30.5, Stark carries the 51st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga of 52 — 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).

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 (~51), then tapers with age. At 31, Stark sits on 22.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Stark's projected Rating — 30.5 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.
