On long-term talent our Rating reads 52, top 34% of the 60 centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie. At 22 Kuijpers is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 14.7 reflects that trajectory.

Output in context · FC OSS finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 64.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 52.4, Kuijpers carries the 20th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie (top 34%), 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). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
