Clean sheets

2.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 18) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Ceiling. High potential at just 18 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Game time. Only 23.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 66.3 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around age 18 (~23), then tapers with age. At 18, Bouwman sits on 22.9, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Bouwman's projected Rating — 66.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
