4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 4 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (9th of 10) 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.

Defensive volume. 4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 25, Kruiver sits on 5.7, at or near its peak. The blue line is Kruiver's projected Rating — 41.9 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.
