Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 18 → 42). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Clean sheets

3.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th 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 5 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 61.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.49 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 32, 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 19.7, Schöpf carries the 44th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga of 47, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Wolfsberger AC finished 10th 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 (3.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
