Clean sheets

3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) 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.

Watch points

Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.

Outlook

Rated 14.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~11), then tapers with age. At 37, Viergever sits on 2.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Viergever's projected Rating — 14.1 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.
