Scout report
R. Schouten is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Septemvri Sofia, rated 20.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 172nd of 252 on scout potential in the First League. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.26 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Schouten.
Judged on this season alone, Schouten graded 10 — a solid campaign that ranks top 31% of the 33 central midfielders in the First League, on 0 goals, 2 assists and 2.255 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 20 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 24th of 33 of the 33 central midfielders in the First League. At 28 Schouten is in his prime years, and a market index of 1.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Septemvri Sofia finished 14th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
2.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th of 16) 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 25.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 20.3, Schouten carries the 24th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the First League of 33 — though on just 26 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
