Scout report
M. Männel is a 38-year-old goalkeeper at Erzgebirge Aue, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 28 appearances, a Season grade of 8, top 22% of 3. Liga goalkeepers. On long-term scout potential he's rated 7.1, ranking 89th of 89 in the 3. Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (44.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.29 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Männel.
Judged on this season alone, Männel graded 8 — a strong campaign that ranks top 23% of the 9 goalkeepers in the 3. Liga, on 4 clean sheets across 28 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 7 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 7, 9th of 9 of the 9 goalkeepers in the 3. Liga. At 38 Männel is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Erzgebirge Aue finished 18th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
4 clean sheets in 28 appearances (14% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 44.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 38, 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 7.1, Männel carries the 9th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the 3. Liga of 9, 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. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
