Clean sheets

4.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 20) 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 86% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Defensive volume. 4.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 59.8, Gijselhart carries the 1st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Eerste Divisie (top 4%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, 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 (~18), then tapers with age. At 21, Gijselhart sits on 15.9, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Gijselhart's projected Rating — 59.8 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.
