Scout report
M. van Rooijen is a 27-year-old defensive midfielder at FC OSS, rated 37.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 331st of 376 on scout potential in the Eerste Divisie. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.75 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Rooijen.
Judged on this season alone, Rooijen graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 18th of 26 of the 26 defensive midfielders in the Eerste Divisie, on 2 goals, 0 assists and 3.754 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 21 → 16). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, 23rd of 26 of the 26 defensive midfielders in the Eerste Divisie. At 27 Rooijen is in his prime years, and a market index of 11 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · FC OSS finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 29.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 37.4, Rooijen carries the 23rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Eerste Divisie of 26 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
