In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.7 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Vercruysse.
Judged on this season alone, Vercruysse graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 28 of the 28 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 2, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 3.695 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 12). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 50, 21st of 28 of the 28 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 2. At 26 Vercruysse is in his prime years, and a market index of 18.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Le Mans finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
3.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 22.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 49.8, Vercruysse carries the 21st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Ligue 2 of 28 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
