Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 79.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 56.8, Kooy carries the 6th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie (top 10%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
