Output in context · Utrecht finished 6th of 18 · an upper-table side
3.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) 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. Going forward he chipped in 9 goals and 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 93.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.48 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 81.6, Zechiël carries the 2nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Eredivisie (top 5%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
