Squad depthCentral defender

E. Butera is a 20-year-old central defender at Jong Ajax, rated 50.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 193rd of 376 on scout potential in the Eerste Divisie and 368th of 994 U-21 players tracked. A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (52.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.55 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Butera.

Judged on this season alone, Butera graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 38th of 60 of the 60 centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie, on 4 clean sheets and 3.554 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 19). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 51, 29th of 60 of the 60 centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie. At 20 Butera is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 12.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 52.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 50.8, Butera carries the 29th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie of 60, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Jong Ajax finished 20th of 20) — 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 solid defensive volume (3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
