Clean sheets

2.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

Game time. Only 28.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 51.9 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~21), then tapers with age. At 23, Meijer sits on 16.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Meijer's projected Rating — 51.9 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.
