Clean sheets

3.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 62.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — 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

Rated 56.3 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, 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 (~17), then tapers with age. At 21, Blaak sits on 15, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Blaak's projected Rating — 56.3 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.
