Output in context · FC Schalke 04 finished 1st of 18 · a title-challenging side
5.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 73.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
- Defensive volume. 5.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 65.9, N'Diaye carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 2. Bundesliga of 57 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
