Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 18 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 48th of 49 of the 49 centre-backs in the 3. Liga. At 33 Schultz is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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.
With a Rating of 13.3, Schultz carries the 48th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 3. Liga of 49. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~7), then tapers with age. At 33, Schultz sits on 2.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Schultz's projected Rating — 13.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
