S. Van Dessel is a 24-year-old central midfielder at MVV, rated 57.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 41st of 360 in the Eerste Divisie. An emerging talent, he has been an ever-present this season (90.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.67 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dessel.
Judged on this season alone, Dessel graded 50 — a standout campaign that ranks top 4% of the 61 central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie, on 7 goals, 4 assists and 2.67 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 50). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 58, top 9% of the 61 central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie. At 24 Dessel is in his prime years, and a market index of 47.5 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Dessel is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
2.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) 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 7 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 57.9, Dessel carries the 5th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie (top 9%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (MVV finished 19th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

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 (~48), then tapers with age. At 24, Dessel sits on 47.5, at or near its peak. The blue line is Dessel's projected Rating — 57.9 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.
