On long-term talent our Rating reads 38, top 2% of the 76 centre-backs in the League Two. At 22 Swinkels is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 6.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Swinkels missed 3 games through injury (knee) out of roughly 48 this season. The 24 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.
A career still climbing — Swinkels is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
3.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 37.6, Swinkels carries the 1st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League Two (top 2%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~7), then tapers with age. At 22, Swinkels sits on 6.4, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Swinkels's projected Rating — 37.6 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.
