Ajax 1 Experience Selection 2015-16

07/29/2015

Last season we made a comparison of the Ajax 1 experience of the selections of the past seasons at the start of each season. During the past 5 seasons there was a downwards trend that ended in only 792 matches experience at the start of last season. Eventhough the current transfer window will still be open a long time, at the moment it looks like the downward trend will end this season. If no more players would leave the current selection will have 1366 matches of Ajax 1 experience, close to the total of season 2010-11 (1402), because besides the experience from the played matches also experience was added by transferring Heitinga and relatively little experience was lost because so far only Kishna (48), Sigthorsson (106) and Moisander (105) left. Very likely some more players will leave and the experience will be lower, because there are quite some players with relatively a lot of experience who will not be part of the starting lineup, as it seems now: Andersen (53 matches), Boilesen (73), Duarte (28), Ricardo van Rhijn (147), Lasse Schone (123), Thulani Serero (102), but it is highly unlikely the selection will have less than 792 matches experience.
