On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 19th of 41 of the 41 centre-backs in the A-League. At 27 Pijnaker is in his prime years, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.
2.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 12) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
With a Rating of 14.7, Pijnaker carries the 19th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the A-League of 41. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.6 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.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~1), then tapers with age. At 27, Pijnaker sits on 0.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Pijnaker's projected Rating — 14.7 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.
