Clean sheets

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 39th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Challenger Pro League of 54. 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).
