3 clean sheets in 14 appearances (21% of games).

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 52, Smolenaars carries the 13th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Eerste Divisie of 27 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
