Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) 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. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 62.2, Held carries the 2nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eerste Divisie (top 3%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.97 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. With this floor already at 20, 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 (~51), then tapers with age. At 20, Held sits on 43.4, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Held's projected Rating — 62.2 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.
