Scout report

Project playerGoalkeeper

S. van Gassel is a 30-year-old goalkeeper at Excelsior, rated 42.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 116th of 159 on scout potential in the Eredivisie. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (92.2% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gassel.

Judged on this season alone, Gassel graded 13 — a solid campaign that ranks top 35% of the 26 goalkeepers in the Eredivisie, on 6 clean sheets across 32 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 13 → 13). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, 13th of 26 of the 26 goalkeepers in the Eredivisie. At 30 Gassel is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9.8 reflects that trajectory.

6 clean sheets in 32 appearances (19% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (13th of 18) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 92.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 42.7, Gassel carries the 13th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Eredivisie of 26, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Excelsior finished 13th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
