Scout report

Squad depthAttacking midfielder

T. van Gilst is a 23-year-old attacking midfielder at Heracles, rated 60.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 159th of 284 on scout potential in the Eredivisie. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (43% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gilst.

Judged on this season alone, Gilst graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 53rd of 56 of the 56 attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie, on 2 goals and 0 assists in 28 appearances (0.141 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 40 → 11). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 60, 34th of 56 of the 56 attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie. At 23 Gilst is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 27.8 reflects that trajectory.

2 goals in 28 appearances (0.07 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.14 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.55 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 60.3, Gilst carries the 34th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie of 56, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Heracles finished 18th 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 (0.14 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
