Jean-Clair Todibo

Schalke’s last win came all the way back at the start of February. Defensive lapses and a lack of creativity have hurt them since then, but one player who has consistently impressed for Schalke is Barcelona loanee Jean-Clair Todibo.

Todibo has only made seven appearances for Schalke so far, but has already earned a lot of glowing reviews. The Frenchman averages 2 tackles, 2.2 interceptions and 4.2 clearances per game, impressive numbers despite his side’s woeful recent form.
