Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kuipers.

We hold a single season for Kuipers, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 48, 10th of 11 of the 11 full-backs in the Eerste Divisie. At 20 Kuipers is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 12 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 16 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Outlook

With a Rating of 47.7, Kuipers carries the 10th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eerste Divisie of 11 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
