Clean sheets

2.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 74.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 60.3, Ordoñez carries the 1st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Jupiler Pro League (top 8%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
