On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 38th of 42 of the 42 centre-forwards in the Eerste Divisie. At 33 Braken is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · MVV finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
7 goals in 34 appearances (0.21 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 10 goal contributions (0.29 per appearance).
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 69.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Final-third output. 0.38 goal contributions per 90 (0.27 goals, 0.11 assists) — productive for the role.
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 20.2, Braken carries the 38th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Eerste Divisie of 42, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (MVV finished 19th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.38 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
