Scout report
B. Lucassen is a 28-year-old central midfielder at NAC Breda, rated 40.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 228th of 282 on scout potential in the Eredivisie. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (36.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.74 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lucassen.
Judged on this season alone, Lucassen graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 47th of 55 of the 55 central midfielders in the Eredivisie, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.744 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 17 → 15). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, 44th of 55 of the 55 central midfielders in the Eredivisie. At 28 Lucassen is in his prime years, and a market index of 11.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Lucassen missed 3 games through injury (knock) out of roughly 34 this season. The 20 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.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · NAC Breda finished 17th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
2.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th of 18) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 36.4% 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 40.6, Lucassen carries the 44th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eredivisie of 55, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (NAC Breda finished 17th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
