Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 44 → 40). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 73, top 4% of the 25 central midfielders in the Eredivisie. At 22 Lebreton is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 88.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Lebreton missed 3 games through injury (injury, inactive) out of roughly 34 this season. The 22 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 5 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 73.1, Lebreton carries the 1st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eredivisie (top 4%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. 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.

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 (~94), then tapers with age. At 22, Lebreton sits on 88.9, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Lebreton's projected Rating — 73.1 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.
