Browsing through the wiki pages I count 25 Curatao players born in the

Yes, the question is whether they are a Netherlands B, C or D side
If we count XI's rather than squads, I would say F or below, at best. >Netherlands B are the current Dutch subs bench, and Netherlands C/D/E

The top three Curacao players at the WC have TM values between 3.5M
and 4.5M. That's about as much as Dutch(*) players ranked between 100
and 125.
But I guess one should look at the median Curacao player (700k), which
would put him at about 250-275 of the list of most valuable Dutch
players.
Yeah, looking at top XIs, they are about a Netherlands Z team. Looking
at 26-men squad, they are more like a Netherlands J team.
