Prós

He is among the quickest defenders available, allowing him to recover effortlessly against rapid forwards and neutralize danger even when the defensive line is pushed high.

In defensive duels, he remains calm, assertive, and highly efficient. His tackling is clean and well-timed, while his sharp anticipation enables him to cease attacking build-up

His positional intelligence stands out consistently, as he reads play well and places himself optimally and shield his defensive zone with authority.

He is particularly dependable during defensive set-pieces, where his reach and power provide an added layer of security.

Additionally, the “dives into tackles” trait enhances his defensive aggression, enabling him to win crucial challenges in high-risk scenarios.

Contras

His High/Medium work rate distribution may occasionally leave gaps in sustained defensive phases, especially when facing prolonged pressure.

While his distribution is dependable, it lacks creativity and ambition, making him less suitable for systems that rely heavily on progressive, line-breaking passes from central defenders.

Despite his defensive sharpness, his agility and rotational movement can feel slightly rigid when confronted by highly nimble attackers in confined spaces.

Veredicto final

Micky van de Ven is more of a recovery defender who thrives on pace, strength, and intelligent positioning. Although he does not excel as a playmaking centre-back, his defensive reliability, physical dominance, and ability to cover space make him an outstanding option for high-line systems, counter-attacking approaches, and teams that value defensive security above all else.
