Gijs Besselink is a defensive midfielder at FC Twente, rated 65 overall in FC 26 with a potential of 79, CDM. By the standards of the role, that's weak. At 21 they're aiming at 79. A project, not an instant fix, but the kind worth the wait.

Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Anchor them in front of the centre-backs to screen space, break up play and make the first pass. They're the team's balance. They can also play CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding, which reinforce that profile.
Their best assets are short passing (67) and stamina (67). Their short passing is weak and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where they struggle: tackling (60) and marking (62). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Their market price sits around 2 M€, with 4 K€ in wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
They start from 65 with a ceiling of 79 — that's +14 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
