No league appearances recorded this season, so there's no output sample to read yet.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 100% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 18 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 51.516000000000005, Ridder carries the 3rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Challenger Pro League of 46 — though on just 0 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.24 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.
