P. Mainka is a 31-year-old central defender at 1. FC Heidenheim, rated 42.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 258th of 325 in the Bundesliga. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (100% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.56 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mainka.
Judged on this season alone, Mainka graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 52 of the 52 centre-backs in the Bundesliga, on 1 clean sheet and 3.559 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 52 → 22). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, 43rd of 52 of the 52 centre-backs in the Bundesliga. At 31 Mainka is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 11.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 34 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 42.9, Mainka carries the 43rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga of 52, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (1. FC Heidenheim finished 17th of 18) — 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 solid defensive volume (3.56 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 (~26), then tapers with age. At 31, Mainka sits on 11.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Mainka's projected Rating — 42.9 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.
