For a central midfielder, Schweinsteiger's pace is more than sufficient. He’s quick enough to recover defensively and make progressive runs when joining the attack.

His right foot delivers solid power and accuracy, especially from outside the box. Long shots, driven finishes, and finesse shots feel reliable.

His passing range is elite, short passes, through balls, and long diagonals are all pinpoint.

Despite being a physically strong player, he feels surprisingly agile on the ball. His first touch, ball control, and composure let him retain possession under pressure.

Defensively, he performs like a deep-lying general. He positions himself intelligently, cuts passing lanes, and breaks up play with well-timed tackles.

Strong in shoulder-to-shoulder duels, Schweinsteiger can hold his ground against physical opponents.

He can go the full 90+ minutes without dropping performance levels.
