P. Sontheimer is a 28-year-old central midfielder at FC Saarbrücken, rated 27.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 232nd of 318 in the 3. Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (48.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.54 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sontheimer.
Judged on this season alone, Sontheimer graded 16 — a solid campaign that ranks top 34% of the 104 central midfielders in the 3. Liga, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.536 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 24 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 75th of 104 of the 104 central midfielders in the 3. Liga. At 28 Sontheimer is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Sontheimer missed 6 games through injury (muscle bruise) out of roughly 38 this season. The 20 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 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 20 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 27.9, Sontheimer carries the 75th-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 moderate defensive volume (2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~15), then tapers with age. At 28, Sontheimer sits on 8.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Sontheimer's projected Rating — 27.9 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.
