R. Schouten is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Septemvri Sofia, rated 20.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 167th of 241 in the First League.

Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Schouten.
Judged on this season alone, Schouten graded 9 — a strong campaign that ranks top 21% of the 29 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 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 21st of 29 of the 29 central midfielders in the First League. At 28 Schouten is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
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.
With a Rating of 20.3, Schouten carries the 21st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the First League of 29 — 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).

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 (~7), then tapers with age. At 28, Schouten sits on 3.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Schouten's projected Rating — 20.3 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.
