Clean sheets

4.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 59.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 52.8, Zwart carries the 17th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie (top 29%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Jong AZ finished 17th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
