Clean sheets

3.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 7 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 73.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.38 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 55.5, Wit carries the 13th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eredivisie of 17. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
