The three closest DNA matches to Wouter Goes:

• Youri Baas(88% match) — A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, active in the tackle (1.8 tackles/90), commanding in the air (4.5 clearances/90), meticulous in distribution (92% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (59% duel success), heavily involved in possession (76 passes/90), central to possession (91 touches/90), uses long balls frequently (5.2/90) and active off the ball (2.5 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
• Yarek Gasiorowski(86% match) — Gasiorowski occupies a fascinating niche in the Eredivisie: a centre-back who quietly outscores most midfielders, registering goals at a top-10% rate while ostensibly being paid to stop them. That goalscoring output is the counterintuitive headline here — it signals genuine attacking instinct and timing in the box, not just set-piece fortune.
• Anel Ahmedhodzic(86% match) — A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as commanding in the air (5.0 clearances/90), reads the game exceptionally (1.6 interceptions/90), meticulous in distribution (91% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (60% duel success), central to possession (72 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.3 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
