Clean sheets

3.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 92.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 74.9, Janse carries the 5th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eredivisie (top 11%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
