Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

P. Fahrner is a 23-year-old central midfielder at FC Saarbrücken, rated 36.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 120th of 264 on scout potential in the 3. Liga. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.22 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fahrner.

Judged on this season alone, Fahrner graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 78th of 94 of the 94 central midfielders in the 3. Liga, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.224 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 14 → 8). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, 43rd of 94 of the 94 central midfielders in the 3. Liga. At 23 Fahrner is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 6.9 reflects that trajectory.

Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

Clean sheets

3.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 18.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 36.8, Fahrner carries the 43rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the 3. Liga of 94 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
