Most appearances

The constant in Hannover’s 2012/13 season was Ron-Robert Zieler. The international goalkeeper didn’t miss a game in the Bundesliga season, making all 34 appearances. With four games less, the trio of Sergio da Silva Pinto, Konstantin Rausch and Jan Schlaudraff continue the list. The rest of the list includes a number of attacking players, who were involved in a number of different formations:


1) Ron-Robert Zieler: 34 appearances
2) Sergio da Silva Pinto: 30 appearances
2) Konstantin Rausch: 30 appearances
2) Jan Schlaudraff: 30 appearances
3) Mame Diouf: 28 appearances
3) Didier Ya Konan: 28 appearances
4) Mohammed Abdellaoue: 26 appearances
5) Artur Sobiech: 25 appearances

The most minutes

Even with the most minutes, the picture that is painted is an interesting one: Ron-Robert Zieler didn’t miss a minute this season and went the full distance across the season. Midfielder da Silva Pinto picked up second spot, with the lively Rausch in third. Attacking players once again filled up the rest of the list:

1) Ron-Robert Zieler: 3,060 minutes
2) Sergio da Silva Pinto: 2,455 minutes
3) Konstantin Rausch: 2,339 minutes
4) Mame Diouf:  2,153 minutes
5) Didier Ya Konan: 1,983 minutes

Impressive stats: Ron-Robert Zieler didn’t miss a Bundesliga minute!
