Clean sheets

3.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 50.4% 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 31, Schlegel carries the 45th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga MX of 65. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
