Outlook

With a Rating of 37.5, Daneels carries the 29th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie of 34 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~11), then tapers with age. At 28, Daneels sits on 6.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Daneels's projected Rating — 37.5 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.
