Clean sheets

1.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 29 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. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 56.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.12 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 53.5, Toppenberg carries the 6th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie of 13, 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 light defensive volume (1.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
