Scout report
J. Schmied is a 27-year-old central defender at 1. FC Köln, rated 56.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 215th of 322 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (54.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.67 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Schmied.
Judged on this season alone, Schmied graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 54th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Bundesliga, on 1 clean sheet and 2.667 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 18 → 11).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 56, 35th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Bundesliga. At 27 Schmied is in his prime years, and a market index of 33.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Schmied missed 12 games through injury (thigh, muscle) out of roughly 34 this season. The 16 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · 1. FC Köln finished 14th of 18 · a lower-table side
2.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 54.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 56.2, Schmied carries the 35th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga of 54, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (1. FC Köln finished 14th of 18) — 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 (2.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
