Scout report
B. van den Boomen is a 31-year-old central midfielder at Angers, rated 31.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 73rd of 83 on scout potential in the Ligue 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (40.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.75 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Boomen.
Judged on this season alone, Boomen graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 9th of 11 of the 11 central midfielders in the Ligue 1, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 2.754 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 16 → 16). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 8th of 11 of the 11 central midfielders in the Ligue 1. At 31 Boomen is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8.2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Angers finished 13th of 18 · a lower-table side
2.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 40.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 31.4, Boomen carries the 8th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Ligue 1 of 11, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Angers finished 13th 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 (2.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
