A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (96.4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Vaessen.
Judged on this season alone, Vaessen graded 26 — a strong campaign that ranks top 23% of the 22 goalkeepers in the Eredivisie, on 8 clean sheets across 30 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 16 → 26). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 15th of 22 of the 22 goalkeepers in the Eredivisie. At 31 Vaessen is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8.8 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Vaessen is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.

Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 96.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
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 39.9, Vaessen carries the 15th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Eredivisie of 22. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
