Mees Hilgers Scout Report

Mees Hilgers, a 23-year-old Dutch centre back from FC Twente, is making quite an impression in the Eredivisie this season. His style of play can be summed up as progressive, particularly with the ball at his feet. Hilgers excels in progressing play from the back, ranking impressively in both progressive carrying and passing, which suggests he's crucial in building up from the defensive third. While this shows promise for a modern centre back, his aerial duels win rate is notably low, signalling an area for improvement, particularly in a league where physical duels are paramount. His capacity for ball recovery is solid, yet his interception rate lags behind his peers, which might be a focus for further development. While he possesses a robust physical presence, this is accompanied by a high foul frequency, reflected in his yellow card tally, indicating he needs to refine his timing and decision-making. Despite these challenges, Hilgers' potential is palpable, especially with his remarkable ability to drive the ball forward, suggesting a bright future with possible adaptation into roles requiring more ball-playing responsibilities.
