Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.22 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

With a Rating of 53.2, Bätzner carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the 3. Liga (top 23%). In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.22 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
