Judged on this season alone, Männel graded 8 — a solid campaign that ranks top 38% of the 29 goalkeepers in the 3. Liga, on 4 clean sheets across 28 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 7 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 7, 28th of 29 of the 29 goalkeepers in the 3. Liga. At 38 Männel is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.

4 clean sheets in 28 appearances (14% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 44.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 38, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 7.1, Männel carries the 28th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the 3. Liga of 29, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Erzgebirge Aue finished 18th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
