Clean sheets

1.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 4 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

At 28, Rutjens sits on 0.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Rutjens's projected Rating — 14.3 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.
