Judged on this season alone, Klaasen graded 27 — a strong campaign that ranks top 27% of the 26 defensive midfielders in the Eerste Divisie, on 0 goals, 2 assists and 4.145 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 22 → 27). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 25th of 26 of the 26 defensive midfielders in the Eerste Divisie. At 32 Klaasen is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · MVV finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 64.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 32, 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 22, Klaasen carries the 25th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Eerste Divisie of 26, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (MVV finished 19th of 20) — 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 (4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
