Clean sheets

3.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 18 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.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 3.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.9/100).

Watch points

Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 41.9 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~24), then tapers with age. At 29, Verdonk sits on 13.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Verdonk's projected Rating — 41.9 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.
