Scout report

Squad depthFull-back

S. Janssen is a 25-year-old full-back at Excelsior, rated 55.2 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.79 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Janssen.

On the season, Janssen graded 6 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 2.785 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 24 → 6). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 55. At 25 Janssen is in his prime years, and a market index of 25.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Janssen missed 3 games through injury (inactive) out of roughly 34 this season. The 13 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.

Clean sheets

2.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 13 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 18) 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.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 18.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 55.2 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. 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.
