Scout report

Key starterGoalkeeper

G. Crettaz is a 26-year-old goalkeeper at NEC Nijmegen, rated 66.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 88th of 284 on scout potential in the Eredivisie. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (91.2% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Crettaz.

Judged on this season alone, Crettaz graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 15th of 22 of the 22 goalkeepers in the Eredivisie, on 5 clean sheets across 31 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 11 → 9).

On long-term talent our Rating reads 67, top 23% of the 22 goalkeepers in the Eredivisie. At 26 Crettaz is in his prime years, and a market index of 30.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Crettaz missed 3 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 31 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.

5 clean sheets in 31 appearances (16% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (3rd of 18) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 91.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 66.6, Crettaz carries the 5th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Eredivisie (top 23%). A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
