Bart Vriends Scout Report

In this scout report, the style of play of veteran center back Bart Vriends is under review. Melding reliability, precision, and a keen head for duels, Vriends is a seasoned stronghold for Sparta Rotterdam in the Eredivisie league. Most notably, his prowess in the art of one-on-one duels appears in the top tiers, with his aerial duel win percentage usurped by just 15% of his contemporaries. Meanwhile, he maintains a strong ground game, with his duel win percentage also nestled within the upper echelons. Vriends' progressive passing game is one of his strengths, placing him in the upper third league-wide—a testament to his long-game vision on the pitch. Of note, however, is his comparatively low ball recovery and progressive carrying metrics, suggesting a seeming lack of dexterity in playmaking and draw-backs in on-ball agility. These elements taken together suggest a spectacularly solid player in defense who could offer more in terms of transitioning the ball upfield. Propensity for fouls and a moderate Card index are another factor to take into account. Vriends' ball activities find their home primarily in the midfield and defensive thirds, with a scant 1.86% landing in the opposition's territory—par for the course for a center back. In sum, Bart Vriends casts a solid, albeit traditionally defensive silhouette in the Eredivisie landscape.
