Clean sheets

3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 11 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 57.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 51.7, Eikelboom carries the 4th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Eerste Divisie of 12 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.55 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.
