Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

F. Pfanne is a 31-year-old central defender at Hansa Rostock, rated 16.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 231st of 264 on scout potential in the 3. Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.49 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pfanne.

Judged on this season alone, Pfanne graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 46 of the 46 centre-backs in the 3. Liga, on 3 clean sheets and 3.487 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 22 → 11). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 44th of 46 of the 46 centre-backs in the 3. Liga. At 31 Pfanne is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, 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 16.8, Pfanne carries the 44th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 3. Liga of 46 — though on just 24 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
