Scout report
F. Van Den Eynden is a 26-year-old central defender at Helmond Sport, rated 47.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 46th of 55 on scout potential in the Eerste Divisie. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (79.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.3 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Eynden.
Judged on this season alone, Eynden graded 36 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 10% of the 10 centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie, on 7 clean sheets and 4.301 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 36). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 47, 9th of 10 of the 10 centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie. At 26 Eynden is in his prime years, and a market index of 17.8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Helmond Sport finished 18th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
4.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) 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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 79.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 47.4, Eynden carries the 9th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie of 10, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Helmond Sport finished 18th of 20) — 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 solid defensive volume (4.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
