On long-term talent our Rating reads 68, 6th of 12 of the 12 wingers in the Eredivisie. At 22 Meerdink is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 82.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Meerdink missed 9 games through injury (groin, injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 19 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
5 goals in 19 appearances (0.26 per game) for a mid-table side. Add 1 assist for 6 goal contributions in all.
With a Rating of 67.9, Meerdink carries the 6th-highest potential of the wingers in the Eredivisie of 12 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.61 goal contributions 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.

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 (~87), then tapers with age. At 22, Meerdink sits on 82.6, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Meerdink's projected Rating — 67.9 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.
