P. Koopmeiners is a 26-year-old defensive midfielder at AZ Alkmaar, rated 62.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 142nd of 284 on scout potential in the Eredivisie. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (76.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.67 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Koopmeiners.

Judged on this season alone, Koopmeiners graded 41 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 24th of 41 of the 41 defensive midfielders in the Eredivisie, on 2 goals, 0 assists and 4.668 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 60 → 41). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 62, 23rd of 41 of the 41 defensive midfielders in the Eredivisie. At 26 Koopmeiners is in his prime years, and a market index of 31.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Koopmeiners missed 3 games through injury (muscle, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 29 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
