From unpredictable wingers to explosive forwards, we’ve pulled together a list of the top 10 Dutch wonderkids that are tearing it up 12 years into the future. Curious how they turn out?

Matthew Mparaganda – Left Back

Mparaganda made immense strides from a promising full-back with decent athleticism into a decisive two-way force. His pace rose from 14 to an elite 17, while key defensive stats like marking (9 → 15) and tackling (14 → 16) became standout strengths. Passing also jumped from 10 to 14, showing his growth into a more complete modern full-back.

Austyn Jones – Winger

Starting with strong finishing (14) and dribbling (14), Jones pushed both to 16, while adding 5 points to his composure (10 → 15). Physically, he matured well too—pace (14 → 17), agility (12 → 17), and jumping reach (8 → 13) reflect that. He’s become a balanced winger, effective both as a scorer and creator.

Sam Roovers – Centre-Back

Roovers transformed from a raw, determined prospect into a top-tier ball-winning defender. Marking and tackling both improved significantly (13 → 16), alongside major mental growth—concentration (10 → 18) and anticipation (12 → 16). His physical traits like natural fitness (10 → 18) and strength (8 → 14) also saw clear progression.

Jorthy Mokio – Centre-Back

Already versatile at 16, Mokio sharpened every area. His marking (13) and tackling (14) stayed steady, but his concentration (7 → 16), positioning (7 → 13), and composure (8 → 13) reflect development into a calm, controlling presence at the back. Physically, he’s a powerhouse—balance (8 → 15) and stamina (7 → 15) were big leaps.

Levi Acheampong – Attacking Midfielder

Levi became a top creative midfielder, raising his already excellent technique and first touch (14 → 17), vision (14 → 18), and passing (14 → 16). His finishing (14 → 16) and composure (5 → 15) surged, turning him into a dual scoring/creative threat. Strong mental growth in aggression, anticipation, composure and off the ball shows he matured well tactically.

Sean Steur – Central Midfielder

From balanced to brilliant, Steur’s first touch and passing (13 → 17), vision (13 → 18), and long shots (14 → 16) became elite. He rounded out his midfield game with significant mental development—concentration (9 → 13), decisions (9 → 14), and composure (6 → 16). Now a true box-to-box engine.

Emre Ünüvar – Striker

Ünüvar went from a promising all-round forward to a lethal, complete striker. Finishing improved (14 → 16), but the real gains were mental—composure (10 → 17), off the ball (7 → 14), and decisions (13 → 17). His elite agility (14 → 18) and balance (7 → 15) make him incredibly tough to stop in tight spaces.

Sami Bouhoudane – Striker

Bouhoudane showed elite progression. His finishing (12 → 16), first touch (14 → 18), dribbling (14 → 17) and especially composure (14 → 20) all hit world-class levels. Pace (12 → 17), agility (11 → 17), and balance (8 → 15) filled out his physical game. Now a clinical, athletic striker with strong mental maturity.

Melih Junuzov – Winger

A smart developer, Junuzov polished his attacking fundamentals. Dribbling (11 → 15), passing (12 → 15), and crossing (12 → 15) all saw key increases, alongside major boosts in composure (10 → 15) and agility (10 → 17). His balanced progression turned him into a reliable creator and carrier on the flank.

Noah Fernandez – Attacking Midfielder

One of the best late bloomers. Fernandez exploded in his 20s—dribbling and first touch(14 → 17), finishing (12 → 14), and vision and decisions (14 → 18) all reached elite levels. Physically, pace (13 → 16) and agility (14 → 18) boosted to a high level.
