Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Absalem.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 29 → 24). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 74th of 79 of the 79 full-backs in the Eerste Divisie. At 29 Absalem is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Helmond Sport finished 18th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
4.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 50.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 31.1, Absalem carries the 74th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eerste Divisie of 79, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Helmond Sport finished 18th of 20) — 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 (4.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
