Squad depthGoal-getting Centre-forward

Y. El Kachati is a 26-year-old centre-forward at NEC Nijmegen, rated 57.3 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (19.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.9 goal contributions per 90 (0.54 goals, 0.36 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kachati.

On the season, Kachati graded 18 for current form (age-blind), on 3 goals and 2 assists in 19 appearances (0.9 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 64 → 18). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 57. At 26 Kachati is in his prime years, and a market index of 26.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Kachati missed 6 games through injury (injury, inactive, wrist) out of roughly 34 this season. The 19 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Goals / app

3 goals in 19 appearances (0.16 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 5 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.9 goal contributions per 90 (0.54 goals, 0.36 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 19.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 57.3 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.9 goal contributions 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.
