Clean sheets

3.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 6 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) 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 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 1.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Creativity. 0.77 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

Game time. Only 13.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 10.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 35, Heise sits on 1.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Heise's projected Rating — 10.5 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.
