On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 27th of 27 of the 27 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 5.3 reflects that trajectory.

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 full-back.
- Defensive volume. 3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- 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 27.1, Schikora carries the 27th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eerste Divisie of 27, 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 (0.8× and falling).
