An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.41 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sampsted.
Judged on this season alone, Sampsted graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 29 of the 29 full-backs in the Eredivisie, on 3 clean sheets and 4.413 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 17 → 17). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, 25th of 29 of the 29 full-backs in the Eredivisie. At 28 Sampsted is in his prime years, and a market index of 11.9 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · GO Ahead Eagles finished 12th of 18 · a mid-table side
4.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 4.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 28.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 43, Sampsted carries the 25th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eredivisie of 29 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
