Esajas's current-season form is down 25% on last season (Season 12→9), while his Rating eased 54→48. His peak season for form remains 2024/25 (Season 12).
J. Esajas is a 21-year-old central defender at Jong AZ, rated 47.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 253rd of 360 in the Eerste Divisie and 1325th of 2861 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (32.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.97 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Esajas.
Judged on this season alone, Esajas graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 54th of 57 of the 57 centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie, on 2 clean sheets and 2.971 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 12 → 9). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 48, 40th of 57 of the 57 centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie. At 21 Esajas is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 35.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 20) 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.
With a Rating of 47.9, Esajas carries the 40th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie of 57, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Jong AZ finished 17th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.

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 (~39), then tapers with age. At 21, Esajas sits on 35.4, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Esajas's projected Rating — 47.9 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.
