Strengths

  • Final-third output. 1.02 goal contributions per 90 (0.79 goals, 0.23 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 0.79 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 59.3, Gilst carries the 2nd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Eerste Divisie of 21 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (1.02 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.
