T. Gooijer is a 21-year-old full-back at PEC Zwolle, rated 64.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 15th of 78 on scout potential in the Eredivisie and 168th of 1772 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (44.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.07 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gooijer.

Judged on this season alone, Gooijer graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 10th of 16 of the 16 full-backs in the Eredivisie, on 3 clean sheets and 4.07 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 19). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 65, top 38% of the 16 full-backs in the Eredivisie. At 21 Gooijer is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 26.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 4.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 44.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 64.8, Gooijer carries the 6th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eredivisie (top 38%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (PEC Zwolle finished 15th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.07 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.
