BEST PLAYERS IN EREDIVISIE – NETHERLANDS (DEC 2023)

In our analysis, we evaluate all the players who played in the Eredivisie until December. In other words, we evaluate and filter the best performers with a minimum of 500 minutes played in the league. Assessing all the positions, we evaluate a lot of factors and indicators in their games that allow us to generate the ratings for their performances. As a matter of fact, in this type of analysis, the type of formation played doesnt influence or limit the ratings system.

GOALKEEPERS (GKs):

  1. Walter Benítez (PSV Eindhoven)
  2. Mathew Ryan (AZ Alkmaar)
  3. Justin Bijlow (Feyenoord)

With incredible performances, the Top 3 Goalkeepers in the league are from the Top 3 teams in the ranking. Walter Benítez is the best performing goalkeeper until December but he is being followed closely by AZ Alkmaar’s GK Matt Ryan.

CENTRE-BACKS (CBs):

  1. Jorrel Hato (Ajax)
  2. Dávid Hancko (Feyenoord)
  3. Olivier Boscagli (PSV Eindhoven)

Accordingly to our ratings system, the Top 3 Centre-Backs are filled with quality players. As a matter of fact, Jorrel Hato leads the average rating of Centre-Backs in the Eredivisie until December. Equally, we can see that he is being followed really closely by Dávid Hancko. All things considered, it is expected that this quality of players move on to even greater clubs and leagues.

FULL-BACKS (FBs) and WING-BACKS (WBs):

  1. Jordan Teze (PSV Eindhoven)
  2. Yukinari Sugawara (AZ Alkmaar)
  3. Calvin Verdonk (NEC Nijmegen)

As shown above, this top 3 includes the first player outside the “big teams” in the Netherlands. Calvin Verdonk archived one of the highest average ratings among the Full-Back and Wing-Back position. Being one of the most solid players in PSV, we can expect solid play of Jordan Teze in the Full-Back positon since he is the player with the highest average grade in this position group.

MIDFIELDERS (Ms) and WINGERS (Ws):

  1. Joey Veerman (PSV Eindhoven)
  2. Calvin Stengs (Feyenoord)

CENTRE-FOWARDS (CFs):

  1. Vangelis Pavlidis (AZ Alkmaar)
  2. Santiago Giménez (Feyenoord)
  3. Luuk de Jong (PSV Eindhoven)

In a league with incredible play at the top, Vangelis Pavlidis has the highest average rating among strikers in the Eredivisie until December. As a result of his performances, Pavlidis is responsible for more than half of AZ’s goals. Santiago Giménez is the top goalscorer in the league establishing himself as one of the most interesting forwards in Europe.
