On long-term scout potential he's rated 27.8, ranking 288th of 320 in the 2. Bundesliga. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (88.2% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Karius.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 49). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 21st of 21 of the 21 goalkeepers in the 2. Bundesliga. At 33 Karius is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.2 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · FC Schalke 04 finished 1st of 18 · a title-challenging side
12 clean sheets in 30 appearances (40% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 88.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 27.8, Karius carries the 21st-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the 2. Bundesliga of 21. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
