Clean sheets

2.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 85.1% 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.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — 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 56.9, Wegen carries the 3rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie (top 9%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Jong Utrecht finished 20th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
