Outlook

With a Rating of 34.6, Verrips carries the 18th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Eerste Divisie of 19 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× 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 (~10), then tapers with age. At 29, Verrips sits on 5.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Verrips's projected Rating — 34.6 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.
