Clean sheets

5.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 21.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 50.8, Zarrouk carries the 12th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Eerste Divisie of 26 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
