Clean sheets

2.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.5/100).

Watch points

Game time. Only 49.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 61.7, Beukema carries the 19th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 37. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~38), then tapers with age. At 27, Beukema sits on 38.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Beukema's projected Rating — 61.7 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.
