Scout report
D. De Neve is a 25-year-old central midfielder at Blackburn, rated 53.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 279th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.09 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Neve.
Judged on this season alone, Neve graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 65th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.094 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 15 → 10). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 53, 42nd of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 25 Neve is in his prime years, and a market index of 24.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Blackburn finished 20th of 24 · a lower-table side
3.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (20th of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 23.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 53.4, Neve carries the 42nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 73, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Blackburn finished 20th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
