Clean sheets

2.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th 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.

  • Game time. Only 43.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 48.8, Schneider carries the 11th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 2. Bundesliga of 26, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Arminia Bielefeld finished 13th 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 (2.84 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.
