N. Bretschneider is a 26-year-old central midfielder at FC Saarbrücken, rated 34.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 180th of 319 in the 3. Liga. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (47% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.4 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bretschneider.
Judged on this season alone, Bretschneider graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 50th of 104 of the 104 central midfielders in the 3. Liga, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 1.401 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 20 → 14). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 57th of 104 of the 104 central midfielders in the 3. Liga. At 26 Bretschneider is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
1.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 20) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 34.1, Bretschneider carries the 57th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the 3. Liga of 104, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (FC Saarbrücken finished 15th of 20) — 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 light defensive volume (1.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 26, Bretschneider sits on 6.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Bretschneider's projected Rating — 34.1 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.
