Nick de Groot is a wing-back at Fortuna Sittard, rated 64 overall in FC 27 with a potential of 70, LB. By the standards of the role, that's weak. At 24 they already deliver and still rise (ceiling 70): the sweet spot between output and projection.
By FAFIFA Team · updated August 2026
Their place is the flank, up and down the wing as LB. They suit a system that lets them get forward: they add width in attack and need cover in case they're caught out behind. The game also rewards them with roles like Fullback, which reinforce that profile.
Their best assets are top speed (69) and stamina (65). That decent top speed is their signature.
Where they struggle: crossing (59) and reading of the game (61). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Their market price sits around 998 K€, with 2 K€ in wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side.
They start from 64 with a ceiling of 70 — that's +6 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.
