Frenkie de Jong is a possession-oriented midfielder who likes to have the ball and dictate the play, equally comfortable as a deep-lying regista, a holding midfielder or a box-to-box runner. His close control and ball-carrying let him glide away from pressure and move the team up the pitch. He stands 1.81 m and is right-footed, and has logged 2,423 club minutes for Barcelona this season, going into the group stage in Ronald Koeman's squad at the age of 29.

He gives the Netherlands a constant outlet, always available to receive the ball and move it on under pressure. On the Goal Rush card the Netherlands are a Tier 2 side at £24m.
