Fan series for the 3rd division
With the help of the community, Transfermarkt will take a detailed look at the 56 teams in the Bundesliga, Bundesliga 2 and Bundesliga 3 in the coming weeks. Which players are the fans looking forward to the most, where is there room for improvement and what is in the squad for 2022/23 for your favorite club? For this we asked around in the forums and picked up assessments – in league three it continues with user “Superfan” and SV 07 Elversberg.
How do you rate the SV Elversberg squad?
The squad has remained the same as last year except for the departure of a few supplementary players. I’m very happy that we were able to keep Carlo Sickinger, because he increases the quality in defensive midfield immensely, which he already showed in the second half of the season, where he helped us to get promoted and win the cup. Marcel Correia with his 33 years and the experience from 188 games in the 2nd Bundesliga is probably the biggest surprise among the newcomers for a promoted team. The question is: does he continue to help us constantly or do minor injuries mean that he will watch more?

For me, however, Thore Jacobsen is the king transfer, because he is in his prime at 25 and has already played 145 games in the 3rd division. He and Correa bring qualities that we definitely need. I just hope they stay fit. With Tobias Mißner and Jannik Rochelt, there are also two good guys from the regional league who want to show that they have potential. Anton Ziegler, a talent from our own youth, who has been in training for a long time and was used in the Saarland Cup, has also joined the team. With Daniel Panchenko, another youth player was used in the pre-season. Although he is supposed to play in the second team, he drew attention to himself in the test matches in the first team. Shortly before the start of the season, Lukas Pinckert, a 22-year-old right-back, was signed who was able to get a taste of the third division at Viktoria Berlin last season.
Where do you see a need to catch up by Deadline Day?
All in all, I don’t think the squad is badly positioned so far. But: In my opinion, we still need one or even two good and variable players for midfield like Elias Abouchabaka, who has talent and would still fall under the U23 rule. We’re still missing another center forward in attack, although it’s difficult to get a good one here at the moment, since half the 2nd and 3rd leagues are still looking for reinforcements there.
So there are at least two field players missing or even more if someone should leave us. Here I see Felix Müller as a candidate, for example, because he wasn’t even introduced at the season opener in the stadium. But that’s the problem I and others have with sporting director Nils-Ole Book: It feels like you’re just waiting until players are offered to us. In addition, there is a high risk of making mistakes when signing newcomers if you bring in players who have had a number of injuries in the past.
What do you expect from the playful appearance of the team?
Since the team from last year stayed together, I don’t expect that much will change in terms of gameplay: we will continue to try to force the opponent to make mistakes through our pressing in order to switch and counterattack as quickly as possible. Here our fast players – fed by good diagonal balls – could become a weapon. I hope that this will also work in the 3rd division and that we will continue to see beautiful and goal-rich football.

What’s in it for SV 07 Elversberg in 2022/23?
Of course, as a promoted player, you have the goal of staying up in the league, which was also mentioned by the club. From a fan point of view, I hope we can do it and not be relegated to the 3rd division like we did last time. Although you have to say that a lot has happened in terms of the stadium and the quality of the squad since relegation, which is why I tend to think that we can annoy one or the other opponent and the promotion favorites and thus cause surprises throughout the season. At the end of the season, I trust the team to be in the single digits if there are no injury problems.
