Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 78.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 71.2, Brittijn carries the 2nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eredivisie (top 23%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). 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.
