V. van Crooij is a 30-year-old attacking midfielder at Sparta Rotterdam, rated 36.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 253rd of 299 in the Eredivisie. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (61.8% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Crooij.
Judged on this season alone, Crooij graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 49th of 61 of the 61 attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie, on 1 goal and 1 assist in 18 appearances (0.18 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 47 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, 52nd of 61 of the 61 attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie. At 30 Crooij is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 23.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Crooij missed 7 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 18 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 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
1 goal in 18 appearances (0.06 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 2 goal contributions in all.
With a Rating of 36.8, Crooij carries the 52nd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie of 61. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.18 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

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 (~47), then tapers with age. At 30, Crooij sits on 23.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Crooij's projected Rating — 36.8 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.
