Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 57 → 69). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, 35th of 41 of the 41 defensive midfielders in the Eredivisie. At 31 Hardeveld is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 14.3 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Hardeveld is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Telstar finished 14th of 18 · a lower-table side
4.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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 6 goals and 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 97.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.39 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 4.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 41.3, Hardeveld carries the 35th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Eredivisie of 41, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Telstar finished 14th 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 (4.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
