Clean sheets

3.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) 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 8 goals and 14 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 79.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.84 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.53 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
  • Defensive volume. 3.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 66.3, Veerman carries the 18th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Eredivisie of 41. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
