Daan Rots, the 22-year-old right winger from FC Twente, is staking his claim as one of Eredivisie's finest young talents. There's an exciting duality to his game. On one side, we see an aggressive ball-hunter-as the 98.41 percentile ranking in ball recovery indicates, Rots is stellar at breaking up play and launching a counterattack. The other side is his clinical accuracy when it comes to setting up opportunities. He's in the 92.06 percentile for progressive passing and 88.71 percentile in assists.
However, it's not only roses for Rots. His 22.22 percentile in ball retention suggests that while he's skilled at stealing the ball, he struggles to keep it. This is further ratified by the amount of times he's dispossessed per 90 with a percentile of 79.03. His goal threat and progressive carrying metrics play a sorrowful tune as well, falling in the 28.57 and 25.39 percentiles respectively.
If Rots can manage to iron out these celestial lows and ride the wave of his truly interstellar highs, he could be the centrifugal force that propels FC Twente to newer heights. Being just 22, he's got time and space to grow, while his current form suggests a budding prodigy ready to bloom.
