Scout report
D. Pines is a 28-year-old central defender at Grazer AK, rated 33.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 137th of 207 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (91.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.14 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pines.
Judged on this season alone, Pines graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 12th of 24 of the 24 centre-backs in the Bundesliga, on 5 clean sheets and 3.138 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 13 → 25). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 16th of 24 of the 24 centre-backs in the Bundesliga. At 28 Pines is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Grazer AK finished 11th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
3.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (11th of 12) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 91.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 33.2, Pines carries the 16th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga of 24, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Grazer AK finished 11th of 12) — 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 (3.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
