Julian Kuijpers is a 21-year-old central defender at FC OSS, rated 53.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 118th of 360 in the Eerste Divisie and 1021st of 2861 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a regular starter this season (64.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.72 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kuijpers.
Judged on this season alone, Kuijpers graded 24 — a strong campaign that ranks top 27% of the 57 centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie, on 5 clean sheets and 3.723 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 28 → 24). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 53, top 25% of the 57 centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie. At 21 Kuijpers is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 39.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 53.3, Kuijpers carries the 14th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie (top 25%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (FC OSS finished 16th 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 solid defensive volume (3.72 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. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~44), then tapers with age. At 21, Kuijpers sits on 39.3, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Kuijpers's projected Rating — 53.3 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.
