A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (44.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.73 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kuipers.
Judged on this season alone, Kuipers graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 51st of 55 of the 55 full-backs in the Primeira Liga, on 3 clean sheets and 1.731 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 24 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 53rd of 55 of the 55 full-backs in the Primeira Liga. At 31 Kuipers is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
