Clean sheets

2.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 11 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 17 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 57% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 56.026, Plantinga carries the 9th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eerste Divisie of 34 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 17 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 17, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
