Scout report

Experienced headCentre-forward

M. Bär is a 34-year-old centre-forward at Erzgebirge Aue, enjoying a standout season — 5 goals and 1 assists in 22 appearances, a Season grade of 18, top 42% of 3. Liga centre-forwards. On long-term scout potential he's rated 10.5, ranking 313th of 323 in the 3. Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (40.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.33 goals, 0.07 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bär.

Judged on this season alone, Bär graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 10th of 24 of the 24 centre-forwards in the 3. Liga, on 5 goals and 1 assist in 22 appearances (0.39 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 19 → 18). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 22nd of 24 of the 24 centre-forwards in the 3. Liga. At 34 Bär is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

5 goals in 22 appearances (0.23 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. Add 1 assist for 6 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.33 goals, 0.07 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 40.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, 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 10.5, Bär carries the 22nd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the 3. Liga of 24, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Erzgebirge Aue finished 18th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.39 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
