Squad depthAttacking midfielder

W. Ould-Chikh is a 26-year-old attacking midfielder at Heracles, rated 54.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 193rd of 284 on scout potential in the Eredivisie. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (50.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.3 goal contributions per 90 (0.06 goals, 0.24 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ould-Chikh.

Judged on this season alone, Ould-Chikh graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 45th of 56 of the 56 attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie, on 1 goal and 4 assists in 24 appearances (0.3 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 2 → 19). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 54, 40th of 56 of the 56 attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie. At 26 Ould-Chikh is in his prime years, and a market index of 25.1 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

1 goal in 24 appearances (0.04 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 5 goal contributions (0.21 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 50.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 54.4, Ould-Chikh carries the 40th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie of 56, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Heracles finished 18th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.3 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
