On long-term talent our Rating reads 55, top 28% of the 62 central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie. At 20 Bukala is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 15.3 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.
