On long-term talent our Rating reads 58. At 23 Smans is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 26.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Smans missed 29 games through injury (knee) out of roughly 35 this season. The 1 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.

Strengths
- Final-third output. 1.7 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 1.7 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 3.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 57.9 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (1.7 goal contributions 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.
