Clean sheets

3.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 15 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.92 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Creativity. 0.46 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

Game time. Only 4.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 32.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.21 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 (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~10), then tapers with age. At 28, Jacobs sits on 5.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Jacobs's projected Rating — 32.8 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
