András Schäfer Scout Report

András Schäfer, at 25, is carving a niche as a resolute central midfielder for Union Berlin in the Bundesliga. Known for his combative style of play, Schäfer excels in defensive duels, boasting an impressive aerial duel win rate and overall duel success. His proclivity for ball recovery is notable, bolstered by solid interception stats, making him a relentless nuisance to opposition attacks. However, his ball retention is less reliable, suggesting a need for sharper decision-making under pressure. While he's not inherently a playmaker, his chance creation is fairly balanced, supported by adequate assist numbers. An intriguing aspect of his gameplay is his shooting efficiency, which, despite low overall shot volume, indicates a knack for seizing scoring opportunities effectively. That's complemented by a decent goal output. Yet, his pass accuracy and progressive plays warrant refinement to elevate his impact during transitions. Often operational in the midfield third, Schäfer's focus leans towards defensive contribution, but when attacking, he's direct, surging forward more on dribbles than passes. This scout report underscores a diligent workhorse with a solid defensive foundation, though advancing further in ball retention and distribution could enhance his influence on the game.
