Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Schlotterbeck.

Judged on this season alone, Schlotterbeck graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Championship, on 2 clean sheets and 3.68 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 26 → 17). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

Clean sheets

3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (7th of 24) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39% 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 40.4, Schlotterbeck carries the 26th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 54 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
