Scout report
E. Schulze is a 33-year-old central midfielder at Start, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 2 assists in 13 appearances, a Season grade of 32, top 44% of Eliteserien central midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 15.1, ranking 192nd of 199 in the Eliteserien. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (63.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.03 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Schulze.
Judged on this season alone, Schulze graded 32 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 14th of 32 of the 32 central midfielders in the Eliteserien, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 2.025 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 18 → 32). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 31st of 32 of the 32 central 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 1.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Start finished 16th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
2.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 13 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 16) 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 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 63.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
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 15.1, Schulze carries the 31st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eliteserien of 32 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.03 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 (0.7× and falling).
