Scout report
J. Vandeputte is a 30-year-old central midfielder at Cremonese, rated 42.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 318th of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (58.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.67 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Vandeputte.
Judged on this season alone, Vandeputte graded 35 — a solid campaign that ranks top 34% of the 68 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 1 goal, 5 assists and 2.674 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 38 → 35). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, 53rd of 68 of the 68 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 30 Vandeputte is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 18.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Cremonese finished 18th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
2.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) 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 1 goal and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 58.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 42.4, Vandeputte carries the 53rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 68, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Cremonese finished 18th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
