Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 38 → 35). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 24th of 24 of the 24 central midfielders in the Eredivisie. At 33 Klaassen is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
