C. Widell is a 23-year-old central defender at Excelsior, rated 71.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 59th of 299 in the Eredivisie. An emerging talent, he has been an ever-present this season (99.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.98 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Widell.
Judged on this season alone, Widell graded 28 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 21st of 51 of the 51 centre-backs in the Eredivisie, on 6 clean sheets and 2.976 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 44 → 28). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 71, top 20% of the 51 centre-backs in the Eredivisie. At 23 Widell is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 91.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 18) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 71.2, Widell carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eredivisie (top 20%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Excelsior finished 13th of 18) — 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 moderate defensive volume (2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~91), then tapers with age. At 23, Widell sits on 91.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is Widell's projected Rating — 71.2 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
