Clean sheets

3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 81.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 56.9, Wit carries the 35th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eredivisie of 49. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
