Squad depthFull-back

A. Natali is a 18-year-old full-back at Jong AZ, rated 48.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 240th of 376 on scout potential in the Eerste Divisie and 61st of 205 U-19 players tracked. A teenage prospect, he has been a fringe squad member this season (26.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.03 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Natali.

Judged on this season alone, Natali graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 73rd of 79 of the 79 full-backs in the Eerste Divisie, on 2 clean sheets and 3.029 defensive actions per 90.

We hold a single season for Natali, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 49, 46th of 79 of the 79 full-backs in the Eerste Divisie. At 18 Natali is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 10.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 20) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Outlook

With a Rating of 48.9, Natali carries the 46th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eerste Divisie of 79 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
