N. Schmidt is a 28-year-old defensive midfielder at SV Darmstadt 98, rated 44.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 208th of 320 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 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 24th 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 → 24). 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 28.1 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.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
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.
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).

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 (~47), then tapers with age. At 28, Schmidt sits on 28.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Schmidt's projected Rating — 44.2 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.
