Output in context · Jong Utrecht finished 12th of 20 · a mid-table side

Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
- Defensive volume. 3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 17 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 50.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 54.8, Plantinga carries the 1st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie (top 10%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. 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.
