Nick Viergever Scout Report

In this scout report of Nick Viergever, the veteran Dutch centre-back showcases a defensive resilience that's become pivotal for FC Utrecht in the 2024-2025 Eredivisie season. At 35, Viergever compensates for the natural decline in pace with intelligence and positioning. His standout strength is clearly in the art of progressive passing, where he's among the league's elites, enabling a smooth transition from defence to attack with vision and intent. He's not one for unnecessary risks, reflecting a median ball retention and pass accuracy, as he prioritises security over flair. Viergever's effectiveness in duels, marked by a significantly high win percentage, underscores his remarkable tenacity and anticipation, making him a formidable figure in aerial contests as well. However, his below-average interception stat suggests room for improvement in reading the game earlier, which could compensate for reduced mobility. Less involved in the final third, Nick positions himself primarily in the centre's two thirds, anchored to his core defensive duties. Overall, Viergever's style of play echoes reliability, a trait complemented by his astute ball recovery skills, crucial for bolstering Utrecht's defensive solidity.
