An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (76.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.31 goal contributions per 90 (0.17 goals, 0.14 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Daneels.
Judged on this season alone, Daneels graded 29 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 17th of 42 of the 42 centre-forwards in the Eerste Divisie, on 5 goals and 4 assists in 31 appearances (0.308 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 29 → 29). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 31st of 42 of the 42 centre-forwards in the Eerste Divisie. At 28 Daneels is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.6 reflects that trajectory.
Daneels is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Helmond Sport finished 18th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
5 goals in 31 appearances (0.16 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 9 goal contributions (0.29 per appearance).
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 76.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 40.4, Daneels carries the 31st-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Eerste Divisie of 42, 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. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.31 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
