Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 47.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 51.5, Schiks carries the 5th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Eerste Divisie of 19 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
