On long-term talent our Rating reads 44, 50th of 60 of the 60 centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie. At 26 Jacobs is in his prime years, and a market index of 13 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
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 50th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie of 60. 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.
