M. Schikora is a 32-year-old full-back at Vitesse, rated 21.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 179th of 192 on scout potential in the Eerste Divisie. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (51.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.88 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Schikora.

Judged on this season alone, Schikora graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 34 of the 34 full-backs in the Eerste Divisie, on 1 clean sheet and 2.877 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 51 → 11). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 34th of 34 of the 34 full-backs in the Eerste Divisie. At 32 Schikora is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 10 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 51.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, 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 21.5, Schikora carries the 34th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eerste Divisie of 34 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
