Experienced headCreative Attacking midfielder

E. Schulze is a 33-year-old attacking midfielder at Start, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 3 assists in 16 appearances, a Season grade of 23, top 84% of Eliteserien attacking midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 14.2, ranking 224th of 231 in the Eliteserien. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (61.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.38 goal contributions per 90 (0.1 goals, 0.29 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Schulze.

Judged on this season alone, Schulze graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 21st of 25 of the 25 attacking midfielders in the Eliteserien, on 1 goal and 3 assists in 16 appearances (0.384 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 18 → 23). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 25th of 25 of the 25 attacking midfielders in the Eliteserien. At 33 Schulze is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.

1 goal in 16 appearances (0.06 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 4 goal contributions (0.25 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 61.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.38 goal contributions per 90 (0.1 goals, 0.29 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 33, 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 14.2, Schulze carries the 25th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Eliteserien of 25, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Start finished 16th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.38 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
