Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Vermeeren.

Judged on this season alone, Vermeeren graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 20 of the 20 defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 4.446 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 26 → 25). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 78, top 25% of the 20 defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga. At 21 Vermeeren is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 42.2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 78.4, Vermeeren carries the 5th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga of 20 — though on just 20 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
