Nathan De Cat is a 17-year-old defensive midfielder at Anderlecht, rated 61.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 14th of 310 in the Jupiler Pro League and 25th of 207 U-19 players tracked. A teenage prospect, he has been a regular starter this season (76.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.32 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cat.
Judged on this season alone, Cat graded 39 — a solid campaign that ranks top 33% of the 58 defensive midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League, on 2 goals, 4 assists and 3.319 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 35 → 39). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 62, top 7% of the 58 defensive midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League. At 17 Cat is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 14.3 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Cat is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
3.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (4th of 6) 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 2 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 61.7, Cat carries the 4th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League (top 7%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Anderlecht finished 4th of 6) — 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 (3.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 17 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 17, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~20), then tapers with age. At 17, Cat sits on 14.3, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Cat's projected Rating — 61.7 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.
