On long-term talent our Rating reads 57, top 15% of the 61 central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie. At 22 Besselink is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 44.3 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Besselink is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
3.19 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 42 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 56.9, Besselink carries the 9th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie (top 15%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.19 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~47), then tapers with age. At 22, Besselink sits on 44.3, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Besselink's projected Rating — 56.9 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.
