On long-term talent our Rating reads 7, 32nd of 41 of the 41 centre-backs in the A-League. At 35 Vriends is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 12) 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.
With a Rating of 7.3, Vriends carries the 32nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the A-League of 41. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 21–27 (~1), then tapers with age. At 35, Vriends sits on 0.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Vriends's projected Rating — 7.3 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.
