Brian De Keersmaecker Scout Report

In this scout report, our attention is focused on Heracles' versatile midfielder, Brian De Keersmaecker. Despite his tender age of 24, the Belgian international commands the midfield with an uncanny sense of maturity, shining particularly bright in ball recovery—scoring an outstanding 96 percentile among his fellow defensive and central midfielders in the Eredivisie. His playstyle leans heavily into his defensive strengths, as he boasts an impressive rate of interceptions at 87.8% too. However, his offensive contributions should not be overlooked. De Keersmaecker scores an above-average 80 percentile in goal efficiency, indicative of his ability to make the most of the opportunities presented to him. His progressive carrying ability also ranks well at 72%. However, no player is without their weaknesses. De Keersmaecker falls short in terms of goal threat, scoring a rather low 17.33 percentile. Furthermore, his chance creation ability, a crucial skill in his line of duties, lacks behind at 24%. These figures indicate room for development in his attacking game—a necessary step should he desire more influence on offensive plays. On the punishment front, De Keersmaecker shows an average propensity to commit fouls and receive yellow cards, a common trait in defensive midfielders. But given the right guidance and training, this Belgian talent stands the potential to become even, more balanced, fulfilling his defensive duties without overstepping the mark. De Keersmaecker's preferred zone of play is the midfield third, aligning well with his defensive midfield role. However, his minor presence in the attacking penalty area echoes his less-than-impressive goal threat and chance creation stats. Overall, while De Keersmaecker excels in his defensive duties and ball retention, our player stats suggest room to grow in creative and goal-scoring areas.
