D. Kasius is a 23-year-old central midfielder at AZ Alkmaar, rated 71.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 51st of 284 on scout potential in the Eredivisie. An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (61.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.22 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kasius.

Judged on this season alone, Kasius graded 36 — a solid campaign that ranks top 34% of the 24 central midfielders in the Eredivisie, on 2 goals, 2 assists and 2.217 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 26 → 36). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 72, top 21% of the 24 central midfielders in the Eredivisie. At 23 Kasius is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 33.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Kasius missed 12 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 17 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

With a Rating of 71.8, Kasius carries the 5th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eredivisie (top 21%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
