In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.41 goal contributions per 90 (0.3 goals, 0.1 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kuijpers.
Judged on this season alone, Kuijpers graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 36th of 42 of the 42 centre-forwards in the Eerste Divisie, on 3 goals and 1 assist in 22 appearances (0.406 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, 29th of 42 of the 42 centre-forwards in the Eerste Divisie. At 26 Kuijpers is in his prime years, and a market index of 12.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Kuijpers missed 3 games through injury (knee) out of roughly 42 this season. The 22 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.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

Outlook
With a Rating of 43.2, Kuijpers carries the 29th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Eerste Divisie of 42 — 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.
