Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Thomas.

Judged on this season alone, Thomas graded 22 — a solid campaign that ranks top 39% of the 62 central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie, on 3 goals, 2 assists and 1.537 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 10 → 22). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 57, top 9% of the 62 central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie. At 19 Thomas is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 13.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Thomas missed 3 games through injury (illness, muscle, ankle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 18 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

1.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 42.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.54 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 57.3, Thomas carries the 5th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie (top 9%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
