FC St. Pauli has no planned transfer activity on deadline day, while the lineup for the match against 1. FC Kaiserslautern was already confirmed. Manager Marcel Rapp's team begins the new week with a record of two points from three games.
What is the deadline day strategy?
FC St. Pauli is observing the hectic transfer deadline day from a distance. The clear tendency indicates the club will not sign any further players. This decision has internal reasons that were not elaborated on. The club is instead focusing on the existing squad, which currently sits in 16th place in the 2. Bundesliga.
The seven-point gap to leaders 1. FC Nürnberg highlights the need to catch up. The next opportunity to collect points is the away match at Arminia Bielefeld on September 4th. You can find the full schedule on our fixtures page.
