Judged on this season alone, Schär graded 32 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the Premier League, on 3 clean sheets and 3.63 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 51 → 32). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 64th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 34 Schär is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 15.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Schär missed 19 games through injury (ankle, injury, head) out of roughly 38 this season. The 16 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.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
