An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.64 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Porath.
Judged on this season alone, Porath graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 24 of the 24 central midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 2.636 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 37 → 13). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, 23rd of 24 of the 24 central midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga. At 29 Porath is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · FC Schalke 04 finished 1st of 18 · a title-challenging side
2.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 23.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 36.5, Porath carries the 23rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga of 24 — though on just 20 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
