An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (74.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.3 goal contributions per 90 (0.13 goals, 0.17 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cathline.

Judged on this season alone, Cathline graded 30 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 29th of 56 of the 56 attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie, on 3 goals and 4 assists in 28 appearances (0.302 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 37 → 30). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 73, top 20% of the 56 attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie. At 24 Cathline is in his prime years, and a market index of 33.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Cathline missed 5 games through injury (leg, inactive) out of roughly 36 this season. The 28 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
