Output in context · KRC Genk II finished 15th of 17 · a relegation-threatened side
2.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th of 17) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 37.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 41.1 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 16 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
