Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 28 → 22). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 30th of 46 of the 46 central midfielders in the Challenger Pro League. At 29 Bruggeman is in his prime years, and a market index of 4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Liège finished 4th of 17 · an upper-table side
2.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 17) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 51.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 28.6, Bruggeman carries the 30th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Challenger Pro League of 46. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
