Judged on this season alone, Holtby graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 36th of 56 of the 56 attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie, on 1 goal and 5 assists in 30 appearances (0.278 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 19 → 23). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 53rd of 56 of the 56 attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie. At 35 Holtby is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · NAC Breda finished 17th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
1 goal in 30 appearances (0.03 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 5 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 6 goal contributions (0.2 per appearance).
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 67.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Output. 0.28 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
- Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 21.3, Holtby carries the 53rd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie of 56, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (NAC Breda finished 17th 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 (0.28 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
