Solid contributorAttacking midfielder

D. de Wit is a 28-year-old attacking midfielder at Utrecht, rated 55.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 184th of 282 on scout potential in the Eredivisie. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (73.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.38 goal contributions per 90 (0.27 goals, 0.11 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Wit.

Judged on this season alone, Wit graded 36 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 17th of 30 of the 30 attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie, on 7 goals and 3 assists in 29 appearances (0.38 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 25 → 36). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 55, 20th of 30 of the 30 attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie. At 28 Wit is in his prime years, and a market index of 16.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Wit missed 5 games through injury (foot, yellow cards) out of roughly 36 this season. The 29 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
