Scout report
F. de Jong is a 29-year-old central midfielder at Barcelona, rated 57.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 231st of 389 on scout potential in the La Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (67.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.63 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Jong.
Judged on this season alone, Jong graded 48 — a strong campaign that ranks top 21% of the 73 central midfielders in the La Liga, on 1 goal, 5 assists and 3.629 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 22 → 48). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 58, 45th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the La Liga. At 29 Jong is in his prime years, and a market index of 48.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Jong missed 10 games through injury and 1 suspension (hamstring, rest, muscle bruise) out of roughly 38 this season. The 25 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.
A career still climbing — Jong is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Barcelona finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) 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 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 67.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 96/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 57.5, Jong carries the 45th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the La Liga of 73. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
