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.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
0 goals in 1 appearance (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 1 goal contributions in all.
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.

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 (~74), then tapers with age. At 23, Smans sits on 74.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is Smans's projected Rating — 57.9 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.
