Clean sheets

2.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Game time. Only 38.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 56.7 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, 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 (~26), then tapers with age. At 19, Ruijter sits on 13.4, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Ruijter's projected Rating — 56.7 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.
