Scout report
J. Cillessen is a 37-year-old goalkeeper at NEC Nijmegen, rated 4.2 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (6.5% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cillessen.
On the season, Cillessen graded 0 for current form (age-blind), on 0 clean sheets across 3 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 4 → 0). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 4. At 37 Cillessen is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 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 · NEC Nijmegen finished 3rd of 18 · an upper-table side
0 clean sheets in 3 appearances (0% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (3rd of 18) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 6.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 4.2 overall — below regular-starter level. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
