Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 18 → 51). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 58th of 62 of the 62 central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie. At 31 Schikora is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.7 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Schikora is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Vitesse finished 15th of 20 · a lower-table side
3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 20) 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. Going forward he chipped in 6 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 86.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 30.3, Schikora carries the 58th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie of 62, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Vitesse finished 15th of 20) — 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 solid defensive volume (3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
