On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, top 11% of the 95 centre-backs in the League Two. At 22 Swinkels is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 3.6 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.
Output in context · Chesterfield finished 6th of 24 · an upper-table side
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.
