A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (44.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.48 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Schultz.
Judged on this season alone, Schultz graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 53 of the 53 centre-backs in the 3. Liga, on 3 clean sheets and 2.48 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 18 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 52nd of 53 of the 53 centre-backs in the 3. Liga. At 33 Schultz is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Rot-Weiß Essen finished 3rd of 20 · an upper-table side
2.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) 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 44.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- 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 13.3, Schultz carries the 52nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 3. Liga of 53. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
