An emerging talent, he has been an ever-present this season (92.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.47 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Braude.

Judged on this season alone, Braude graded 30 — a strong campaign that ranks top 25% of the 33 centre-backs in the Eredivisie, on 5 clean sheets and 3.465 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 30 → 30). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 75, top 4% of the 33 centre-backs in the Eredivisie. At 22 Braude is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 32.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 92.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 74.6, Braude carries the 1st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eredivisie (top 4%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.47 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.
