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 49th of 52 of the 52 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, 31st of 52 of the 52 centre-backs in the Bundesliga. At 27 Schmied is in his prime years, and a market index of 93.3 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.
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.
With a Rating of 56.2, Schmied carries the 31st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga of 52, 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.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~93), then tapers with age. At 27, Schmied sits on 93.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Schmied's projected Rating — 56.2 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
