Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

K. Schmidt is a 24-year-old central defender at Fortuna Düsseldorf, rated 53.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 155th of 320 on scout potential in the 2. Bundesliga. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (45.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.97 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Schmidt.

Judged on this season alone, Schmidt graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 51st of 57 of the 57 centre-backs in the 2. Bundesliga, on 2 clean sheets and 2.968 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 12). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 53, 23rd of 57 of the 57 centre-backs in the 2. Bundesliga. At 24 Schmidt is in his prime years, and a market index of 20.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Outlook

With a Rating of 53.1, Schmidt carries the 23rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 2. Bundesliga of 57, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Fortuna Düsseldorf finished 17th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
