N. Bukala is a 20-year-old central midfielder at FC Volendam, rated 65.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 121st of 299 in the Eredivisie and 161st of 997 U-21 players tracked. A young player, he has been a regular starter this season (65.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.87 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bukala.
Judged on this season alone, Bukala graded 40 — a strong campaign that ranks top 24% of the 25 central midfielders in the Eredivisie, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 4.866 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 40). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 66, 11th of 25 of the 25 central midfielders in the Eredivisie. At 20 Bukala is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 71.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Bukala missed 4 games through injury (muscle, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 25 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.
A career still climbing — Bukala is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
4.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 65.5, Bukala carries the 11th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eredivisie of 25, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (FC Volendam finished 16th 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 solid defensive volume (4.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, 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 (~84), then tapers with age. At 20, Bukala sits on 71.3, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Bukala's projected Rating — 65.5 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.
