Scout report
S. Michel is a 36-year-old centre-forward at SC Paderborn 07, enjoying a standout season — 3 goals and 0 assists in 27 appearances, a Season grade of 14, top 82% of 2. Bundesliga centre-forwards. On long-term scout potential he's rated 14, ranking 315th of 320 in the 2. Bundesliga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (28.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.34 goal contributions per 90 (0.34 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Michel.
Judged on this season alone, Michel graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 39 of the 39 centre-forwards in the 2. Bundesliga, on 3 goals and 0 assists in 27 appearances (0.336 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 22 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 39th of 39 of the 39 centre-forwards in the 2. Bundesliga. At 36 Michel is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Michel missed 3 games through injury (unknown) out of roughly 34 this season. The 27 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.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · SC Paderborn 07 finished 3rd of 18 · an upper-table side
3 goals in 27 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 28.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 36, 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 14, Michel carries the 39th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the 2. Bundesliga of 39 — though on just 27 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.34 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
