Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 39 → 23). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 45th of 51 of the 51 centre-backs in the Challenger Pro League. At 32 Ruyssen is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Kortrijk finished 2nd of 17 · a title-challenging side
3.19 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 17) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 51.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 18.5, Ruyssen carries the 45th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Challenger Pro League of 51. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.19 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
