VERDICT: RELIABLE VETERAN (Defensive Anchor)

Wessel Dammers is the epitome of reliability for Randers. At 30, he brings immense maturity (MAT 8.8) and leadership (LEA 8.0) to a young defensive unit. His positioning (POS 8.2) and aerial strength (HEA 8.2) are his primary weapons. While his mobility (REC 7.0) is slightly declining, his tactical intelligence and Dutch ball-playing technique (PAS 7.6) remain high. A perfect partner for a more explosive, younger CB.
