Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 52 → 34). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 26th of 29 of the 29 central midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League. At 32 Schoofs is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Union St. Gilloise finished 2nd of 6 · a title-challenging side
2.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 6) 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 4 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.4 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 55.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, 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 25.4, Schoofs carries the 26th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League of 29. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
