Outlook

With a Rating of 43.2, Kuijpers carries the 5th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Eerste Divisie of 5 — though on just 22 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.41 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~13), then tapers with age. At 26, Kuijpers sits on 12.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Kuijpers's projected Rating — 43.2 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.
