Clean sheets

2.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 10 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 1.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Creativity. 1.25 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Game time. Only 2.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 59.5 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, 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 (~27), then tapers with age. At 19, Cruijsen sits on 21.9, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Cruijsen's projected Rating — 59.5 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.
