Clean sheets

0.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 32% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 68.5, Blake carries the 9th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eredivisie (top 38%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
