Output in context · Antwerp finished 4th of 18 · an upper-table side
3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 25.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 52.9, Verstraeten carries the 3rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Jupiler Pro League (top 38%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
