Output in context · MVV finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 90.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 56.5, Dessel carries the 12th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie (top 20%), 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.
