On long-term talent our Rating reads 79, top 10% of the 42 defensive midfielders in the Eredivisie. At 20 Smit is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 86.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Smit missed 4 games through injury (inactive, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 26 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.
Smit is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
2.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 79.2, Smit carries the 4th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Eredivisie (top 10%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, 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 (~101), then tapers with age. At 20, Smit sits on 86.2, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Smit's projected Rating — 79.2 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.
