5 goals in 11 appearances (0.45 per game) for a mid-table side. Add 2 assists for 7 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.71 goal contributions per 90 (0.51 goals, 0.2 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 51.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.94 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 27.5, Niemeijer carries the 20th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Eerste Divisie of 21 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.71 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
