Nigel Groenewald Stats, Market Value & Form

Summary

Nigel Groenewald has begun the 2025/26 Eredivisie campaign with a single appearance, logging eight minutes on the pitch. During that brief spell he recorded two tackles, a figure that translates to 22.5 tackles per 90 minutes, vastly exceeding the forward baseline of 0.97 tackles per 90. While he has yet to register a goal, assist, shot, or key pass, his defensive contribution stands out: his tackle rate is more than twenty times the typical forward benchmark. The player’s average match rating of 6.6 reflects a solid effort in a limited time frame. Although the season is still in its early stages, Nigel Groenewald’s work off the ball demonstrates a defensive intensity well above the norm for his position.

Nigel Groenewald has played 8 minutes across 1 appearance in Eredivisie, at 0.00 goals per 90 against a positional baseline of 0.31 and averaging 6.60 a match.

Per 90 against his positional baseline

Goals /90		0.00 0.31 0.15
Shots /90		0.00 1.91 0.99
Shots on target /90		0.00 0.99 0.50
Key passes /90		0.00 1.37 1.07

Black tick is the positional baseline: the average forward in Eredivisie with 900+ minutes (54 players). Amber is the league average across every outfield position, which is what shows a defender out-passing most midfielders. Green means better for that metric, which for fouls and goals conceded means fewer.

Solid is the player, dashed ring is the positional baseline.

Per-player totals for 2025/26 from API-Football match stats, across 26 players. Click any column to sort. Goals/shot is conversion - goals divided by shots taken. Rating is API-Football's own 0-10 composite for each appearance, averaged here; it is their proprietary score, so treat it as a summary rather than an input. A blank from the provider means the player recorded none of that event, so it counts as zero. Form is 0-10: each appearance is scored as a per-90 composite of the stats that matter for that position, then the last 5 are compared with the player's own season baseline. 5 is their normal, green a hot run, red a cold one – it measures a player against themselves, not against the squad. Under 6 appearances shows a dash rather than a number off too small a sample.
