Scout report

Project playerCentral defender

D. Mirani is a 30-year-old central defender at Heracles, rated 41 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 227th of 282 on scout potential in the Eredivisie. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (95.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.07 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mirani.

Judged on this season alone, Mirani graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 34th of 50 of the 50 centre-backs in the Eredivisie, on 2 clean sheets and 3.069 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 32 → 19). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, 37th of 50 of the 50 centre-backs in the Eredivisie. At 30 Mirani is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 95.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 41, Mirani carries the 37th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eredivisie of 50, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Heracles finished 18th 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 (3.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
