Scout report
J. Jacobs is a 26-year-old central defender at Almere City FC, rated 44 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 118th of 158 on scout potential in the Eerste Divisie. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (35.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.6 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Jacobs.
Judged on this season alone, Jacobs graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 33 of the 33 centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie, on 3 clean sheets and 2.602 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 10 → 10). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 44, 23rd of 33 of the 33 centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie. At 26 Jacobs is in his prime years, and a market index of 13 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Almere City FC finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
2.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 28 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 35.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 44, Jacobs carries the 23rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie of 33. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
