  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 58% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 61.6, Pannewig carries the 11th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga (top 30%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
