Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Veratschnig.
Judged on this season alone, Veratschnig graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 32 of the 32 full-backs in the Bundesliga, on 1 clean sheet and 4.227 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 10).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 69, top 4% of the 32 full-backs in the Bundesliga. At 23 Veratschnig is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 13.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Veratschnig missed 4 games through injury (muscle, injury, illness) out of roughly 32 this season. The 21 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.
Veratschnig is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Red Bull Salzburg finished 2nd of 12 · a title-challenging side
4.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 21 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 12) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 26.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 69.1, Veratschnig carries the 1st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Bundesliga of 32 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
