Scout report
P. Hercher is a 30-year-old central defender at 1. FC Magdeburg, rated 30.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 277th of 320 on scout potential in the 2. Bundesliga. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (50.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.24 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hercher.
Judged on this season alone, Hercher graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 49th of 57 of the 57 centre-backs in the 2. Bundesliga, on 3 clean sheets and 2.238 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 16 → 13). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 47th of 57 of the 57 centre-backs in the 2. Bundesliga. At 30 Hercher is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.9 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · 1. FC Magdeburg finished 14th of 18 · a lower-table side
2.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 50.1% 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 30.9, Hercher carries the 47th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 2. Bundesliga of 57, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (1. FC Magdeburg finished 14th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
