Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dähne.

Judged on this season alone, Dähne graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 16th of 26 of the 26 goalkeepers in the Bundesliga, on 5 clean sheets across 35 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 1 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

5 clean sheets in 35 appearances (14% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (17th of 18) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 60.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 18.6, Dähne carries the 23rd-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Bundesliga of 26, 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. A a regular starter keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
