Clean sheets

3.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 24 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 10) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~5), then tapers with age. At 27, Hoorenbeeck sits on 4.5, at or near its peak. The blue line is Hoorenbeeck's projected Rating — 33.2 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
