How do you get the best out of Ruud Nijstad?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. A pure centre-back: pair them with a quick one if they lack top speed, and use their aerial dominance at set pieces. The game also rewards them with roles like Ball-playing defender, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
Where they really hurt you is jumping (78) and strength (72). That reliable jumping is their signature.
What are they missing?
It's not all good: marking (50) and slide tackling (56). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth the price?
Worth around 797 K€ with 1 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. They're also out of contract soon (2027), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
How far can they go?
They start from 59 with a ceiling of 80 — that's +21 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
