Read the appearance count in context: Schlotterbeck missed 8 games through injury (jumpers knee, illness, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season.

Output in context · Borussia Dortmund finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
3.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) 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 5 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 100% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.5/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 81.1, Schlotterbeck carries the 9th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga (top 17%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.18 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.
