Scout report
D. Bakker is a 31-year-old full-back at Telstar, rated 37.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 238th of 284 on scout potential in the Eredivisie. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (86.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.24 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bakker.
Judged on this season alone, Bakker graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 48 of the 48 full-backs in the Eredivisie, on 4 clean sheets and 3.244 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 55 → 25). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, 43rd of 48 of the 48 full-backs in the Eredivisie. At 31 Bakker is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Telstar finished 14th of 18 · a lower-table side
3.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 86.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 37.3, Bakker carries the 43rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eredivisie of 48, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Telstar finished 14th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
