A career still climbing — Burger is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 18) 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 4 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 85.9, Burger carries the 5th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga (top 10%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~143), then tapers with age. At 25, Burger sits on 142.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is Burger's projected Rating — 85.9 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.
