Leonardo Lopes is a 27-year-old defensive midfielder at Gent, rated 43.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 228th of 311 in the Jupiler Pro League. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (66.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.21 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lopes.
Judged on this season alone, Lopes graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 58 of the 58 defensive midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 3.214 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 13 → 26). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, 47th of 58 of the 58 defensive midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League. At 27 Lopes is in his prime years, and a market index of 13.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (5th of 6) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 43.2, Lopes carries the 47th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League of 58, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Gent finished 5th of 6) — 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 (3.21 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.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~14), then tapers with age. At 27, Lopes sits on 13.7, at or near its peak. The blue line is Lopes's projected Rating — 43.2 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
