Veteran Dutch striker Michiel Kramer, aged 35, is continuing to demonstrate his worth on the pitch for RKC Waalwijk in the Eredivisie in the 2023-2024 season. Despite his age, Kramer's statistics indicate that he is an all-rounder, showcasing dependable performance in ball retention and goal threat, both ranking at the 50th percentile among his peer group. However, Kramer's crux lies in his progressive carrying, chance creation, and goal efficiency - all falling disappointingly below the 15th percentile. This highlights an issue in advancing play and capitalizing on goal-scoring opportunities. Despite a 37.04 percentile in goals per 90, Kramer's xG/90, an indicator of expected goals based on the quality of his chances, ranks pleasingly higher at 55.56%. This discrepancy could suggest potential for improved goal tally with better finishing. On the assisting front, his assists per 90 and xA per 90 are alarmingly low, at 9.26 and 18.52 percentile respectively, signaling a weakness in creating opportunities for teammates. Kramer's game shows a struggle with recovery and accurate passing, both evident from his 14.28 and 51.85 percentile respectively. The latter stage of Kramer's career may be characterized by consistency, but it's shadowed by a lack of dynamism, forward movement, and creativity in his play.
