Scout report
N. Schmidt is a 28-year-old defensive midfielder at SV Darmstadt 98, rated 44.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 207th of 320 on scout potential in the 2. Bundesliga. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (39.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.97 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Schmidt.
Judged on this season alone, Schmidt graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 37 of the 37 defensive midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 2.973 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 25). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 44, 25th of 37 of the 37 defensive midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga. At 28 Schmidt is in his prime years, and a market index of 10.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Schmidt missed 12 games through injury (knee, ruptured cruciate ligament) out of roughly 34 this season. The 15 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Schmidt is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · SV Darmstadt 98 finished 5th of 18 · an upper-table side
2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 39.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 44.2, Schmidt carries the 25th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga of 37 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
