Clean sheets

3.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 77.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 48.2, Schouten carries the 6th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Eredivisie of 6. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
