P. Hercher is a 30-year-old central defender at 1. FC Magdeburg, rated 30.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 278th of 320 in the 2. Bundesliga. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (50.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.24 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hercher.
Judged on this season alone, Hercher graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 49th of 57 of the 57 centre-backs in the 2. Bundesliga, on 3 clean sheets and 2.238 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 16 → 13). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 48th of 57 of the 57 centre-backs in the 2. Bundesliga. At 30 Hercher is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 16.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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.
With a Rating of 30.9, Hercher carries the 48th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 2. Bundesliga of 57, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (1. FC Magdeburg finished 14th 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 moderate defensive volume (2.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~33), then tapers with age. At 30, Hercher sits on 16.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Hercher's projected Rating — 30.9 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.
