G. Brugman is a 33-year-old defensive midfielder at Pescara, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 2 assists in 17 appearances, a Season grade of 44, top 14% of Serie B defensive midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 24.3, ranking 342nd of 397 in the Serie B. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (78.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.81 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Brugman.
Judged on this season alone, Brugman graded 44 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 15% of the 56 defensive midfielders in the Serie B, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 3.811 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 20 → 44). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 52nd of 56 of the 56 defensive midfielders in the Serie B. At 33 Brugman is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Pescara finished 20th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) 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 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 78.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 24.3, Brugman carries the 52nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie B of 56, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Pescara finished 20th of 20) — 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 solid defensive volume (3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
