Scout report

Squad depthGoalkeeper

J. Golz is a 28-year-old goalkeeper at Rot-Weiß Essen, rated 28.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 179th of 264 on scout potential in the 3. Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (39.5% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Golz.

Judged on this season alone, Golz graded 2 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 14th of 23 of the 23 goalkeepers in the 3. Liga, on 2 clean sheets across 29 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 4 → 2). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 17th of 23 of the 23 goalkeepers in the 3. Liga. At 28 Golz is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.2 reflects that trajectory.

2 clean sheets in 29 appearances (7% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.5% 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 28.9, Golz carries the 17th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the 3. Liga of 23. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
