Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Meerveld.
Judged on this season alone, Meerveld graded 35 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 56 of the 56 attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie, on 6 goals and 3 assists in 31 appearances (0.319 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 40 → 35). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 73, top 22% of the 56 attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie. At 23 Meerveld is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 33.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
