On long-term talent our Rating reads 62. At 21 Dongen is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 25.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Dongen missed 15 games through injury (illness, thigh, health problems) out of roughly 35 this season. The 7 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Output in context · Heerenveen finished 8th of 18 · a mid-table side
1 goal in 7 appearances (0.14 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.73 goal contributions per 90 (0.73 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 6.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 61.7 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.73 goal contributions 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.
