G+A

Goals / app

24 goals in 35 appearances (0.69 per game) is a 20-goal season — and for a lower-table side (14th of 20), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone. He also laid on 7 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 31 goal contributions (0.89 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 90.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.9 goal contributions per 90 (0.7 goals, 0.2 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 60.5, Postema carries the 4th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Eerste Divisie (top 10%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Emmen finished 14th of 20) — 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 genuine goal threat (0.9 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
