Outlook

With a Rating of 13.4, Duinen carries the 31st-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Eredivisie of 32 — though on just 28 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.38 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~8), then tapers with age. At 34, Duinen sits on 2.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Duinen's projected Rating — 13.4 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.
