Scout report
L. Schouten is a 22-year-old central defender at Excelsior, rated 62.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 137th of 284 on scout potential in the Eredivisie and 548th of 2878 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (46% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.3 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Schouten.
Judged on this season alone, Schouten graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 37th of 49 of the 49 centre-backs in the Eredivisie, on 3 clean sheets and 3.297 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 24 → 17). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 63, 21st of 49 of the 49 centre-backs in the Eredivisie. At 22 Schouten is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 27.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Excelsior finished 13th of 18 · a lower-table side
3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 46% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 62.6, Schouten carries the 21st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eredivisie of 49, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Excelsior finished 13th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
