Fabian Schär Scout Report

Fabian Schär remains a polished gem within Newcastle United's defensive ensemble. At 33, the Swiss centre-back showcases an impressive ability to orchestrate from the back, reflected by his standout progressive passing, where he's retreated none synonymous with dominance in this category. His style of play illustrates a proactive, ball-playing defender, evidenced by a high touch rate allowing him to facilitate transitional moves effectively. Schär's knack for interceptions and recoveries complements his offensive dynamism, portraying him as a linchpin in both advancing play and thwarting opposition raids. However, his aerial prowess seems almost non-existent, a significant chink in his armour in aerial duels, potentially compromising his physical duels overall. While his passing is incisive, ball retention and accuracy leave room for improvement, hinting at rare lapses in possession. Despite these frailties, Schär's adeptness in the art of progressive defence remains formidable, making him a reliable asset in Newcastle's rear guard.
