Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 17 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 50.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 56.1, Plantinga carries the 10th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eerste Divisie (top 13%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 17 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 17, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
