Scout report
O. Wijndal is a 26-year-old central defender at Ajax, rated 58.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 166th of 284 on scout potential in the Eredivisie. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (55.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.85 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Wijndal.
Judged on this season alone, Wijndal graded 28 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 49 of the 49 centre-backs in the Eredivisie, on 5 clean sheets and 2.854 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 28). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 59, 27th of 49 of the 49 centre-backs in the Eredivisie. At 26 Wijndal is in his prime years, and a market index of 27.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Wijndal missed 7 games through injury and 2 suspensions (injury, muscle) out of roughly 36 this season. The 19 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 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Ajax finished 5th of 18 · an upper-table side
2.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 55.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 58.8, Wijndal carries the 27th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eredivisie of 49. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
